Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a bit of a gamble. It’s not a household name and it’s not Earth based, so will audiences be able to connect with the characters? Why was Chris Pratt, best known for comedic roles, cast in the lead role? What sort of a movie has a talking raccoon and a tree warrior? If you’ve been wondering this yourselves, take a look at the first trailer, I think it will answer your questions:

Guardians of the Galaxy will be released in theaters on August 1. What did you think of the trailer? Was that not the most awesome thing to ever awesome? Sound off in the comments!

The trailer looks amazing! Definitely looking forward to this, probably more than The Winter Soldier. GotG is definitely a big risk on Marvel/Disney’s part, but I think they’ve made enough money with their other films to warrant taking a gamble like this. Hopefully, the movie succeeds cause I need to see more Rocket Raccoon.
I am all about Rocket Raccoon. We’ve already begun what I assume will be a very big collection of Rocket toys – starting with the limited plush they sold at NYCC last year.
