10) Back To Knowhere
The trailer opens with a few establishing shots to remind us of the characters and their world. We see the empty corridors of Peter’s spaceship the Milano, a glimpse of Drax on board, Gamora on an alien terrain and some jokey graffiti most likely written by Rocket. Our first proper hint at the content of the film, though, comes in a shot of Peter looking out over the cosmos.
It’s difficult to tell, but it looks to us like he’s standing in the eye of Knowhere, the criminal outpost the Guardians visited in the first move to talk to the Collector about the Infinity Stone. In the comics, Knowhere – actually the skull of a giant cosmic being known as a Celestial – is the Guardians’ base of operations (as it is in the movie’s spinoff cartoon series).
We could be wrong, but if we’re right, it seems that Vol. 2 may follow the source material and make Knowhere the team’s HQ. We probably shouldn’t expect to see the likes of Cosmo the Space-Dog or Howard the Duck again, though.
