Marvel have released a five-minute preview of James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and in it we get our best look yet at the movie and how the characters interact than in any of the other recent TV spots and clips.
The clip (which has clearly been edited down a little) offers up a few new plot details and mainly focuses on the Guardians and their imprisonment at an early point in the movie. Interestingly, Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer isn’t with them at this point, so how he joins the team is yet another thing which has yet to be revealed.
Rocket Raccon (Bradley Cooper) and Groot (Vin Diesel) get a lot of the spotlight here, while we also get to see Star-Lord’s (Chris Pratt) reaction to some of his Earthly possessions being messed with. That then leads to the reveal of the moment in Guardians of the Galaxy where Blue Swede’s “Hooked on a Feeling” is used.
The whole prison break sequence looks set to be great fun, and this preview also offers up a very brief look at a hologram of Thanos, the big baddie of the Marvel Cinematic Universe voiced by Josh Brolin.
What do you guys think about this latest Guardians of the Galaxy sneak-peek?
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 Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Benicio del Toro, Guardians of the Galaxy is set to be released on August 1st in the US and July 31st in the UK.
