A spanking new teaser trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy has released online.
The 30-second clip shows a glimpse of the full-length trailer that is set to air today [May 19] at 1pm ET, followed by a Q&A with the cast.
In an interview with Digital Spy, director James Gunn stated that Guardians of the Galaxy are the Rolling Stones to Avengers’ Beatles:
I think of this as a space epic – it is not really science fiction, it is an adventure film.
But I think that in the 1970s Alien and Blade Runner in particular came in, and they had this amazing production design but they also kind of became this lynchpin for everything else that came after, where it was always a dark and dreary world.
The film stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper.
Guardians of the Galaxy releases in theaters on July 31.
