"You're welcome." For once, Marvel are more than justified in anticipating our gratitude...Marvel Studios have this week released a host of promotional materials for their upcoming science-fiction superhero blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy. Taking place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the team's latest motion picture stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista and Vin Diesel as its cosmic band of injustice-thwarting warriors.
Each of those aforementioned lead actors have received their own dedicated mini-documentary video (all of which are below) outlining the studio's approach to adapting their inherently extraterrestrial characters, but the true piece de resistance of this marketing blitz is the first full teaser trailer for the overall flick (again below). The video boasts a good deal of chuckleworthy gags, suggesting that the tone of the final product will end up being more akin to that of a sci-fi comedy than the overly grim and 'gritty' (we shudder at the term) narrative which viewers encountered in Thor: The Dark World last October. Most of all, though, credit must go to the member of the marketing team who thought that including Bjorn Skifs' classic 1975 cover of Hooked On A Feeling was a solid idea- no doubt that track has had its fair share of justifiable downloads this week as a result!
Guardians of the Galaxy explodes into cinemas worldwide on August 1st.
