It will be Rocket Raccoon. Because Movie.

You'd think so, right?

But I heard he was already deconfirmed.

Indeed. I asked just before Sentry + Shulk + Mohawk were announced, and at the time he (and all of the Guardians of the Galaxy) was deconfirmed.
There's nothing to say that they've changed their minds since then, and the GotG lineup from the movie could all fit within MPQ fairly well. I think the biggest reservation is that they don't fit the Dark Reign setting at all. It seems like a redundant argument to make, after IW and HT, but they keep coming back to it, so I figure it's got to have some weight. I think I'd most like Rocket Raccoon too, since he's got such a "videogame character" feel about him already, but I have a hard time imagining him with a moveset that's not simply a copy of Punisher.

I can see the setting argument, though I'm not really sure how important it is in the long run. Especially with new story content getting sparse.

It's strange...I know over at Marvel Heroes the devs are encouraged to use characters that Marvel is pushing. Moon Knight and Ghost Rider were added right about the time their new comic books started up, Loki was added in time for Thor 2 and Star-Lord will be in around the time GotG gets to theatres. I wonder why Marvel doesn't seem to have as much input with releases in this game?

They probably have a better production pipeline, that can actually get new characters out in a timely manner for tieins
