Marvel made the safe bet of following up Captain America earlier this year, a decision that clearly paid off as the sequel recently crossed the $700 million mark this week. Later this summer, however, they’re embarking on a bit of a gamble, bringing the odd-ball Guardians of the Galaxy to the screen, and today we have a new trailer.
While he’s currently off filming Jurassic World, Chris Pratt‘s blockbuster prowess will be tested with this James Gunn-directed feature and his affability comes through in this latest look, not to mention a great deal of creative setpieces and a whole host of intriguing characters. Also starring Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace, Benicio Del Toro, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Peter Serafinowicz, Michael Rooker, and Glenn Close, as well as the voices of Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel, check out the new trailer and poster below.
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 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 Peter 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 opens on August 1st, 2014.
