The ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ are coming to save the universe and with these latest preview shots from the film, we get one of the best looks of Ronan to date! With each new trailer released, they have me that much more hooked on what we’re going to be seeing.

First we have a shot of Chris Pratt as Peter Quill, better known as Star-Lord! (Who?!)

Next is a spot familiar to long term ‘Guardians’ fans !   It’s The Milano getting ready to dock at Knowhere. I don’t know if they will go into it in the film but in the comics it is a severed Celestial head that exists nearly outside of reality.

Third we get a good shot at Vin Diesel’s motion captured Groot! “I AM GROOT!”

Look at the cute little raccoon in shackles. Wait, what do you mean Rocket isn’t a raccoon?

Fifth we have an awesome shot of the Guardians’ ship, The Milano.

You do not want to mess with Lee Pace’s Ronan in this image. Though I do wonder if he is The Accuser in this film?

Finally we close with an awesome shot of Dax the Destroyer ready to take on the world. Which, incidentally, he would probably be willing to do.

As much as I love the most recent shots from the film, I can’t help but be saddened by them. Awesome as they are, they are not getting us any closer to August 1st, 2014 when we can actually get a look at the film itself. I hope I’m not over hyping the movie in my mind, but this really is at the top of my list of must see films this year!

What about the rest of you! Are you looking forward to taking a chance on a somewhat more obscure Marvel property? Can’t wait to see if it is both as funny and as action filled as the preview trailer? How about the great close up look on Ronan? Share your thoughts below true believers!

Synopsis:

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team — the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “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.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ starring Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Karen Gillan, Benicio Del Toro, and Michael Rooker blasts off on August 1st, 2014.
