Today a new look at Marvel Studios’ next big screen adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy dropped online to coincide with the film’s Facebook Q&A. This Marvel movie will not star any of the superheroes we have been following since 2008’s Iron Man, but rather a new band of misfit scoundrels in an epic space adventure that will not directly cross over into the established arc.
Led by Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord/Peter Quill, a half-human taken from Earth as a child and living out among the stars, a mot; consisting of an assassin (Zoe Saldana’s Gamora), a genetically advanced talking & gun toting raccoon (Rocket, voiced by Bradley Cooper), a talking tree (Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel) and a revenge obsessed resurrected man (Dave Bautista’s Drax the Destroyer) are called upon to risk their lives for the greater good of the galaxy. Guardians will build upon the larger story arc that likely revolves around Thanos’ (the big grinning purple alien in The Avengers‘ mid-credits scene) quest to acquire the six gems needed to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet, which grants its weilder God-worthy powers. It looks like the elements we have seen so far on the big screen are the Tesseract (Captain America: The First Avenger and The Avengers) and the Aether (Thor: The Dark World). The floating sphere seen in this trailer looks to be a third component.
So here we have our second trailer to GOTG, which is not heavy on plot, but rich with visuals, and complete with an “I am Groot!” and some long awaited vocals from Rocket Raccoon:
Here is the official GOTG synopsis:
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.
Guardians of the Galaxy, directed by James Gunn, is set for an August 1st release. The cast includes Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax), Lee Pace (Ronan the Acuser), Karen Gillan (Nebula), Glenn Close (Nova Prime), Benicio Del Toro (The Collector), Michael Rooker (Yondu), John C. Reilly (Rhomann Dey), Djimon Hounsou (Korath the Persuer), plus the voices of Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon) and Vin Diesel (Groot).
