You only get one chance to save the galaxy twice. That’s the mantra behind Marvel’s latest sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, James Gunn’s much-anticipated anti-superhero blockbuster.
With a May release just around the corner, it’s time for Marvel to high-kick their marketing build-up, and that’s the reason for today’s newest TV spot, which can be found above. Admittedly, this 30-second teaser isn’t too different than the one we saw during the Super Bowl last Sunday, but if you need an extra dose of Guardians of the Galaxy-fueled silliness, the footage delivers.
Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen Gillian and Michael Rooker all return for this newest installment, which finds the unlikely heroes unwittingly saving the universe from almost-endless mayhem and chaos. Expect another pop-heavy soundtrack and lots of quips, both of which are found in abundance throughout this newest action-packed teaser.
Expectations are high for the newest Marvel joint, but the space-set sequel just might live up to them. According to early reports, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 earned a rare 100 during a recent test screening, which is pretty much unheard of. That’s not the only positive word-of-mouth so far, either. All things considered, it’s safe to say people are really responding to the studio’s newest film.
Granted, early buzz can’t always be trusted, and I’ve stopped putting full faith into test audiences long ago, but these are very, very, very encouraging early reports, and we can only hope the film lives up to our lofty hopes. The last thing we need right now is another bummer sequel, amirite?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 storms into theaters on May 5th and after watching the new teaser released today, that date cannot come soon enough.
