Recent word has the first Guardians of the Galaxy trailer arriving on February 18, but this morning some concept animation for characters Rocket Raccoon and Groot, to be voiced by Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel respectively, has arrived giving a first look at what we can expect from the intergalactic duo in action.
Set for release on August 1, Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) 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 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.
Check out the animation below and stay tuned as the trailer should be here shortly.
