Spoilers in the lead …
First up , a big thank you toKevin Garciafor ferreting out a lot of the secrets from the tormentor over the weekend , over onObservation Deck . give thanks you , and well done . So without re - treading a lot of what we already cover inour first screencap roundup , let ’s reveal out the new surprises in this drone .
First up it ’s a new variant of the original Peter Quill introduction we saw in the first lagger . This new version divulge two additional things about the Star - Lord . One , that he knows he ’s from Earth . And two , that the Star - Lord mask can disappear right off his face . Fancy new space tech !
In ouron set audience with Chris Pratt , he revealed what Peter know about his past :
Peter Quill is a guy who ’s half - human , half - alien . We cognise the flick starts on Earth , but is set mostly in space . I ’m kind of rummy , is the persona more informed by who he was on Earth or is he more informed by who he has become in space ?
No , at this point he ’s in spades more informed by who he was on Earth . The arc of the character , it ’s a very human arc . It ’s really base on who he was and what was taken from him as a minor . And something that he missed and lacks that he has to gain through the class of the picture show . That ’s definitely what we ’re center on … When he leaves Earth he ’s a kid . He ’s like nine or ten . … You get to see the origin of who he is and why he is the fashion he is when you receive him as an grownup later in quad .
Pratt expatiate that the Peter Quill the audience is encounter is young , and seem for his big payout moment . attempt to get the big mark , or lottery ticket , that will set all his troubles . And I ’m betting this witty telephone exchange between Djimon Hounsou , play Korath the Pursuer , is one of those aver moments .
Next up , a snap of Star - Lord ’s Milano Spaceship , in space .
First shot of the group all together . Peter narrates , “ So here we are … ” notice the great stranger in the screen background .
“ A Thief … ” [ holding that orb again ]

accidentally , that revolve he ’s tossing up and down is the one that he stole from the grave where Korath found him in the first poke , and it bet like the gang is confronting him about it .
“ two Thugs ( meaning Rocket Raccoon and Groot ) ”
“ an Assassin ( Gamora ) ”
“ and a Maniac ( Drax the Destroyer ) . ”
We ’ve already expend A LOT of time breaking down this squad , so if you want to cognise more about each theatrical role ’s awesome backstory ( Gamora is the “ daughter ” of Thanos ) crack outour last poke dissection . But let ’s move on to what ’s new in this poke .
Like our first footage of the movie ’s Big Bad , Ronan the Accuser .
Who is not messing around . Ronan the Accuser is a Kree who plays a key role in the Kree - Skrull War as well as Annihilation , so it ’s great that we ’re father to run across him in this moving-picture show .
Ronan is played by Lee Pace . regrettably , his awesome eyebrows are covered up in this very blue costume . But he still look very daunting .
Here ’s Ronan take part in individual fighting against another dude , in a mystery sphere , with four cloak figures surrounding them :
So how does Ronan threaten to destruct the galaxy ? We do n’t know , but at one point , the prevue present him closing his fist around something bright :
And it seems to spark off an burst , down fortune of people :
Also , here ’s one of Ronan ’s “ Necrocraft ” bombing the open of a planet :
Ronan also has a purple radiate weapon that he unleashes on the Guardians :
Here ’s one of Ronan ’s minion that the gang will have to fight , who may or may not be the Sakaarans from Planet Hulk , if one miniature is to be believed :
And here ’s Glenn Close as Nova Prime . Think of her as the genus Bos of the “ space bull . ” The Nova Corps are somewhat interchangeable to the Green Lantern Corps in the DC Universe , only without any small disconsolate men lead everything . And behind her you’re able to see the new , updated Nova Corps uniforms . Looks neat .
But perhaps the most EXCITING reveal was Knowhere :
For those of you who missed it , Knowhere is the float , behead chief of aCelestialthat ’s been wrench into a place port . Yes that is a giant head , that now live as a moorage post . And I start ta say , it kind of wait badass . In fact I kind of like the decomposition , spinal cord hanging out the back . Really just wonderful hooey . Looks even better in “ real lifespan ” than it does in the comics ( which is rare ) .
Another big ribbing in this dawdler is the big fight between Gamora and the villain Nebula ( Karen Gillan ) .
Which Gunn has divvy up the sheer cutest behind the scenes stroke of :

Also maybe that engagement did n’t go so well , because some commenters ( thanks ) think Gamora has lost her branch in this icon . in person , I just opine Zoe Saldana is just THAT skilful .
Benecio del Toro makes a light appearance as The Collector , whom we met concisely at the remainder of Thor : The Dark World . He seems to be outside of his museum . Which … is … interesting …
The almost - kiss ( under a gorgeous sky ) .
The Milano being chased by a jillion ships , through some kind of electromagnetic blowup over that planet ’s open :
A altogether bonkers shot of Drax :
Peter ’s “ Awesome Mix Vol . 1 ” And deal of former trappings from his youth on Earth in the 1980s . Spotted scratch and sniff prickle , ALF , Garbage Pail Kids , Troll Doll .
We also get to see some of Peter ’s other gear wheel , admit his boot jets :
And a neat rocket rocket launcher :
This is also the first time we get to hear Bradley Cooper really “ talk ” as Rocket Raccoon . He has a whole bit of negotiation — and here ’s an excellent gibe of Rocket ’s ship .
Gunn has called Rocket the “ soulfulness ” of the movie . In an interview withDigital SpyGunn rarify on the harsh world of Rocket ’s origins , and what that ’s going to do to him ( and the members of the squad ) .
It really intend that this is a motion-picture show that has a spill the beans raccoon in it , and it ’s very crucial that it is not the Avengers with Bugs Bunny in the sum of it . It ’s really important that Rocket is a real animal , and I have it away him , and he is the essence of the movie . He ’s the most illustration of the Guardians in that he is this mangled beast that was taken and experimented on and torn apart and put back together , and we have to find that character ’s soul . If we feel that fibre ’s soul and we know him and we love him , we see his plight and see why he is such an angry little guy , then the movie will work .
Many thanks to James Gunn , for now we have a visual of what it search like when a CG Raccoon “ adjusts ” himself .

And last but far from least , Groot gets some great moments in the trailer . At one point , he seems to be releasing spores ( or lightning bug ) upwards , to everyone ’s wonderment :
And grow new twigs in an specially tense moment :
And giving a flower to a little girl :
But most of all , read his catch phrase …
And finally , because I ’m obsessed with Groot and his young voice , say “ I am Groot , ” here is a vine with Groot saying his one and only classic line on loop . You ’re welcome .
