It came as quite a surprise to the fans when director James Gunn tweeted out a new teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. The new trailer has brought back together all the five original leads (guardians) Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket Racoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Starlord (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista) and Baby Groot.
The two minutes trailer shows off quite a few fight scenes as the characters explore the far reaches of the universe. All of the characters have been shown in their fighting forms in at least one scene, including Baby Groot who is adorably hilarious and is also to some extent, the highlight of the teaser.
And just like the original feature, the second volume will surely provide a good comic relief to the viewers. With comic lines punched into almost every scene, it sure would be a treat to the fans.
The old cast will be joined by Pom Klementieff, who is playing an alien empath Mantis, Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha, Chris Sullivan as Taserface and Kurt Russell as Ego.
Towards the end of the teaser, there’s a scene where Starlord faces a difficult situation as his ‘deep dark secrets’ are out, but that has been given a comic punch as well.
Given the intensity of VFX used in this movie, a large number of names make up the list:
Animal Logic
Framestore
Method Studios
Scanline VFX
Tixter
Weta Digital
Lola Visual Effects
Cantina Creative
The feature is set to hit theaters on 5 May, 2017.
