The 8 Best Moments From The Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Trailer

After a shorter teaser trailer landed a few weeks back, we now have our first proper look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 thanks to a brand new preview that dropped last night. Full of banter, Baby Groot and space monsters - all set to the soundtrack of The Sweet's "Fox on the Run" - the trailer promises that the sequel will be just as fun as we had hoped.

Just because he’s only the size of an action figure doesn’t mean that Baby Groot isn’t as useful in a fight as he used to be.

After a brief moment featuring him whooping with joy on Rocket’s shoulder as the raccoon goes all guns-blazing, Groot is seen roaring at a Ravager along a gangway. Comically, the Ravager is terrified of the little guy but it soon becomes apparent that he’s right to be. The yelling Groot trips him up with some of his vines and swings him over the edge, presumably to his death. Warning to all Guardian enemies: do not piss off Baby Groot.

From these scenes, it looks likely that Baby Groot is going to be even more of a breakout character in Vol. 2 than Big Groot was in GotG. We loved him before, but now he’s ten times more endearing, what with his adorably tiny Ravager outfit and high-pitched voice. There is the bittersweet element, though: he doesn’t seem to be entirely the same Groot we knew in the last movie. As such, it’ll be interesting to see how this is explored in the film.
