Grab your walk-man and break out the mix tapes, everyone’s favorite “bunch of…”, well, if you’ve seen the first GUARDIANS, you know the line! Chris Pratt dropped a brand new trailer for GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night! And look at the new poster above. Awesome. Obviously. Like we are super psyched. Totally.
Before we get into the trailer, let me set up the basis for the film. Yes the gang is back (with Baby Groot!!), as they find themselves unraveling the mystery of Peter Quill’s father (which I’ll get to in a minute). Familiar stars such as Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, and Glenn Close all return to the big screen!
New faces include Pom Klementieff stars as Mantis, and Elizabeth Debicki as Kismet (or Ayesha as she is later known as in the comics). Chris Sullivan will play Taserface, and Kurt Russell is in the film as well. This movie is once again written and directed by James Gunn.
So first why don’t you watch the trailer before I start gushing about it!
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Trailer
Did you see that? We FINALLY get a glimpse of Kurt Russell’s Ego (and that he is Peter’s dad!)
So those who may be familiar with Ego, you know that often he takes on planetary form in the comics. I think it’s safe to say after viewing this trailer, Ego does assume a humanoid appearance. And for those not familiar with Ego, he’s a mysteries cosmic being who raises Mantis (in addition to being Peter’s dad).
I’m not the only GUARDIANS fan in my household though… my son LOVES the series on Disney XD!
Marvel’s GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY the animated series, will debut its second season with a one-hour telecast featuring back-to-back episodes, SATURDAY, MARCH 11 (9:00 PM EST), on Disney XD!! Disney XD will also release six shorts following the adventures of the five main characters daily, beginning February 27 on the Disney XD app, VOD and Disney XD’s YouTube. Seriously, how awesome is that?
Season two will follow Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot on a mission to protect Star-Lord’s home planet of Earth, when they cross pass with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, aka… The Avengers!! After an epic battle, the two teams come together to save Earth from an alien mad scientist, The High Evolutionary, but inadvertently unleash an ancient weapon! With every alien baddie in the galaxy after this weapon, the Guardians must unlock its secrets before it destroys them.

Who is excited for GUARDIANS to return this May?
I received the above trailer as a blogger via Walt Disney Publications. All opinions and thoughts expressed are 100% my own.
These are awesome craft/activities to do with the kids. We are big fans of Guardians!
This movie looks so rad! I cant wait. I hope that if there is another Mixtape, they do another limited edition record of it again. The purple.one from last time is still one of my favorites.
Thanks for sharing the Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer and those awesome recipe and craft ideas! I especially love the Galaxy Candy Bark – it looks out of this world!
My kids loved the first movie and we cannot wait for the new one! Thanks for sharing the trailer!
I have to admit, I know nothing about the first Guardians of the Galaxy! I would bet that the grandkids do! The activities look awesome, especially the play dough.
I know so many kids that would love the Guardians of the Galaxy! I can’t wait to see it myself. Thanks for sharing.
Saw this this morning and LOVED it! Kurt Russell is the man plus GotG is one of my fav origin stories in the MCU.
I love these superhero movies because they are always action packed and have edge of the seat excitement included. I enjoy watching movies with my nephew. Best times with that little man.
It’s a pretty rad trailer… actually, the whole campaign is amazing. Marvel knows their audience.
I am very excited about this one. We just rewatched the first one to get pumped up for it.
My son cant wait to see this one! I love the craft ideas too!
I love the recipe idea for the candy bark! My kids would have a blast making that!
I can’t wait for this movie to come out! I am a huge Guardians of the Galaxy fan and have been waiting for this. And I love the craft ideas, they look like so much fun!
I enjoyed the first Guardians of the Galaxy more than I thought I would. I’ll be checking out the second one after it comes out.
Wow! How fun! These crafts look amazing! My entire family is excited about the new Guardians of the Galaxy! Can’t wait!
I have heard so many great things about these movies, I am behind in seeing them, but plan on catching up and getting to this too! I love your craft ideas too!
I am not typically a Marvel movie fan, but Guardians of the Galaxy was one I really enjoyed. All of your awesome activities would definitely add another element of fun to this upcoming release too!
This sounds like a good movie for the whole family!! I will have to get it and make that bark too. I bet it would be a hit!
My husband has been looking forward to seeing it. Think we may bring out older son along with us and make it a family date night.
