This Is the Trailer That Will Make You Really Psyched About Guardians of the Galaxy

Jul 8 2014 - 10:21am

Guardians of the Galaxy [1] may be one of Marvel's lesser-known franchises, but that's about to change. Chris Pratt stars as Peter Quill in this funny new trailer, a space traveler who calls himself Starlord and fancies himself a "legendary outlaw." His unlikely team includes soldier Gamora (Zoe Saldana — whom we chatted with on the set [2]), feisty Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper [3]), Dax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), and Groot (Vin Diesel), a treelike humanoid. Together, they're the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team that intergalactic police officer John C. Reilly and his co-worker think are just "a bunch of a-holes."

Marvel is usually pretty good at infusing humor into its movies, but this looks way more comedic than any of the superhero films we've seen lately. I love Pratt as the lead here, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of Benicio Del Toro [4] as the mysterious "Collector." In any case, one thing is clear: soon you won't be asking who the Guardians of the Galaxy are [5]. The movie hits theaters on Aug. 1, so until then, brush up on your Guardians.

The first full trailer has Pratt piloting a plane as well as a quick shot of his incredible six-pack — or is it an eight-pack? So much muscle.
