Marvel’s latest film, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ is nearly upon us.  While the property is somewhat obscure and a whole lot off-beat, so far audiences seem to be digging the trailers, so this might be the studio’s next breakout hit.  What better way is there to say goodbye to summer than another crowd-pleasing Marvel flick?

In anticipation for the movie’s August 1st premier, Marvel has released four new pics from the movie, showcasing Chris Pratt as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana as Gamora and David Bautista as Drax the Destroyer.  You can check them out below:

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 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. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.
