Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer 2

The latest trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy just came out and it's got tons of new footage. It really does seem like they're trying to reintroduce these characters to us again. But if you haven't seen the previous trailer or the mini character bios, the direction of the trailer makes a lot of sense. Star Lord gets a lot of screen time as he seems to be the leader who brings everyone together, but everyone gets a chance to shine, and there's a definite group vibe with plenty of team shots.

The trailer starts pretty much like the last one did with Peter Quill aka Star Lord.

And he gets no respect or recognition from Korath.

And it looks like Star Lord is waving as he escapes.

Great shot of his mask here while he's running and jumping away.

And the list of the Guardians gets run down again.

A thief,

Two thugs,

An assassin,

And a maniac.

First shot of Ronan the Accuser, the film's maid bad guy.

I love this "What the hell?" look Drax gives Quill.

More Ronan in a ceremony where he gets his weapon.

Glenn Close is in the movie?!?

Plenty of team hero shots.

And Rocket is poised to be the breakout star.

Rocket & Groot jailbreak?

Hero three-point stance by Gamora.

Another team hero shot. Really getting a group vibe from this trailer regardless of how much Star Lord is featured.

What the hell is that?

That's no moon, it's a space station.

Way better shot of Ronan, and he's about to blast the crap out of some people.

It looks like Drax's main weapons are his knives.

Groot releasing fireflies?

Shiny!

Hoping for a lot of space/flying battles.

Drax doesn't react well to being called a loser.

Neither do Gamora and Rocket.

Star Lord has one of the weirdest motivational speeches here.

Groot shows off his softer side.

Apparently gratuitous butt shots from the Joel Schumacher Batman era have survived.

Where's Captain Kirk when you need him.

And here's Chris Pratt's abs for equal opportunity.

Raccoons have a life expectancy of 1.8-3.1 years in case you were wondering.

Did Drax just annihilate a Vulcan?

Nebula and Gamora face off.

Some really weird weaponry in this film.

More flying!

Rocket emerging from an explosion.

Drax in trouble with Ronan.

The Collector.

Did you think they weren't gonna shove a love story into the film? And look, she's wearing his headphones.

I see this and I imagine Raphael doing this.

More Groot.

More Gamora.

It's a mix tape! Now we have to explain to a whole new generation what the hell mix tapes are.

We might have to explain mix tapes to Groot as well.

Hero shots of Star Lord!

Gamora

Drax!

When Groot angry, Groot grow branches.

And Rocket adjusting himself. I don't care what anyone says. I don't care if it's lowbrow. I enjoy potty humor.

Drax is limbering up to kiss ass.

Does the Nova Corps have regrets putting their trust in these guys?

Guardians Assemble!

And of course, one last shot of Rocket.

Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st.
