In just a few short weeks Marvel Studios will release, Doctor Strange, the fourteenth film in their already legendary slate of comic book films. As…strange…and far out as that film is expected to be, we are only seeing the tip of Marvel’s oddball iceberg. As the Guardians of the Galaxy are prepping for a glorious return to cinemas this May.
Director James Gunn returns to the director’s chair for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, along with the entire crew of the Milano, including Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket Raccoon, Groot, as well as new crew members Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Nebula (Karen Gillian). While the complete scope and plot of the film is unknown, we do know that a major plot line will be Star-Lord’s quest for his lost father, Ego the Living Planet, played by Kurt Russell (Furious 7).
This past summer, we were lucky enough to be in attendance for Marvel Studio’s presentation in Hall H at San Diego Comic Con and it was immediately apparent that the scope of the sequel is much more ambitious than its predecessor. This new sizzle reel lacks most of the scenes that were screened there, however don’t fret, as this is only a sneak peek with a standard teaser trailer coming in the new future. (Don’t ya just love modern movie marketing?) Presumably, we will then be formally introduced to the other characters and monsters that audiences can expect to meet next year.
With that being said, the first look at the sequel only gives the smallest glimpses into the humor and scale found in the upcoming space adventure. However, seeing the Guardians again truly feels like coming home. The first movie pulled off what seemed like the impossible, by not only making an entertaining flick about a group of misfits, but by also making them instantly iconic.
A formal teaser trailer is on the way, but for the time being, enjoy the footage. I dare you to not smile when the music kicks in… Heck you might even get up and dance… Enjoy.
