We’ve met the Guardians of the Galaxy in five new featurettes, and now Marvel have finally released the first poster for the James Gunn helmed movie. Sensibly, they’ve made a point of highlighting the fact that this adaptation is being brought to us from the same people who delivered hits like Iron Man and The Avengers!
Talking of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, fans were disappointed that the poster for that movie was a pretty poorly put together Photoshop job. Thankfully, Marvel seem to have learnt from their mistake by delivering a rather brilliant group shot of Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Groot and Rocket Raccoon.
The fact that the tagline for this release is “You’re Welcome” might just tell us all we need to know about the tone! To check out our breakdown of the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, be sure to click here.
From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team—the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits—Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand—with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
Starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gilian, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Benicio del Toro, Guardians of the Galaxy is set to be released on August 1st.
