Marvel have released two new international TV spots for Guardians of the Galaxy, and they feature some amazing shots from the movie, including scenes which put the spotlight on the likes of Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace).
Also below are the first official stills of The Walking Dead’s Michael Rooker as Yondu, the spice pirate who rescues Peter Quill from Earth as a child and serves as a surrogate father of sorts to him. Asked by USA Today to describe the leader of the Ravengers and his relationship with Star-Lord, Rooker said:
“[Peter Quill is] feeling lost, vulnerable, defeated, emotionally drained and hurt, and here is Yondu in this light coming down and brings him up into the spacecraft and takes him away. [Yondu has] some interesting issues — not a good guy, not a bad guy. It’s not so black and white — I should say blue and white. And I enjoy roles that are like that, even if they’re not in some galaxy somewhere other than ours.”
Talking of Star-Lord, actor Chris Pratt is featured on the latest cover of Entertainment Weekly as you can see below. Guardians of the Galaxy looks set to shoot the Parks and Recreation star’s career into orbit, and his next blockbuster is Colin Trevorrow’s highly anticipated Jurassic World.

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.
