Marvel’s highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy teaser trailer has been released. Watch the official trailer for Marvel’s latest movie.

Guardians of the Galaxy has been shrouded in secrecy, despite some footage shown to Comic Con fans back in July, but now we have the official teaser trailer. Watch it 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 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 film. This is most likely due to the fact that it’s a nice step away from what we have become accustomed to seeing from Marvel.

A surprising 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.
