Film: First official photos from ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’

Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) film still

We admit it. We’re so excited about Guardians of the Galaxy that we just might squee ourselves outside of the narrow confines of this website. With the trailer due to drop tomorrow on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Marvel (via USA Today and Collider) has released three new stills from the film.

Offering us our first proper glimpse at Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Groot (voiced and mo-capped by Vin Diesel) and Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista), the scenes depict the Guardians assembling, the Guardians’ “muscle car of a spacecraft” the Milano flying over the Xandarian homeworld of the Nova Corps, and a close-up of Chris Pratt stars as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord. We cannot wait to see more of the flick in tomorrow’s trailer, which we are sure to be watching on perpetual repeat until the film comes out in August.

The film also stars Glenn Close as Nova Prime, Michael Rooker as Yondu, Djimon Hounsu as Korath, Lee Pace as Ronan, Karren Gillan as Nebula, and Beneicio Del Toro as the Collector.

Guardians of the Galaxy is released on 1 August 2014 from Marvel Studios via Disney.
