Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer unveiled

Marvel has been having a great time at the box office, trotting out its menagerie of super-powered heroes. The latest team to take on the task of saving the universe are the Guardians of the Galaxy.

The film looks to have a good comedic twist, as the trailer is self-referential to that fact that they are not well-known in the mainstream, along with a sample of many other jokes.

Starring Chris Pratt, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, and Benicio Del Toro among many other famous and rising stars, Guardians of the Galaxy ties into the current Marvel film universe, having direct links to the ending scene of Thor 2.

The synopsis according to IMDB:

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 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.
