The Guardians of the Galaxy trailer was released earlier this week and gave fans everything they could have imagined and now we have the film’s first poster featuring the intergalactic gang of misfits.

Featurettes for each character in Guardians of the Galaxy were released earlier today, and now we have the first official poster for the film. With its retro style and kickass tagline, we’re liking the way director James Gunn is taking this film. Check the new poster out below:

Guardians is still somewhat of a wildcard for Marvel/Disney, but they seem to have put their full weight behind the new franchise. The first trailer looks fantastic, and the poster is a nice change of pace from what normally comes out of the studio. This gives us great hope for the film’s release this August.

While the Guardians are untested characters and the film includes a whole new world that doesn’t have the fan base that we’ve seen gather for Avengers or Iron Man, fans are excited for the movie.

A report was recently released that stated Marvel has already scheduled a Guardians of the Galaxy sequel for 2016. While it’s simply a rumor as of now, we do know that Marvel has a film slated to hit theaters on May 6, 2016.

Guardians of the Galaxy’s release date is set for August 1, 2014. Featuring an intergalactic group of Guardians, led by Star Lord, they make a desperate stand to save the galaxy.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper voices the machine-gun-wielding Rocket Raccoon and is joined by Vin Diesel as the tree-like Groot, with Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista filling out the leading roles. James Gunn directed and wrote the script.
