Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Trailer

Get a look at an actual scene from the movie in a new clip that dropped during the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards:

And there's a new TV spot, too...

On top of that, there are now a whopping FIVE trailers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 that have been released, featuring lots of action and laughs and whatnot. 

And along with it (and its big reveal at the end there) comes another beautiful poster. Check it out:

Want more trailers? Good. We have them.

The one before this isn't exactly a trailer, it's just a TV spot, but there's a couple of seconds of new footage in it. But we can start making educated guesses about what the next volume of "Awesome Mix" will contain, since we first got Sweet's "Fox on the Run" and then Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" but now...we get some Bowie.

Yes, that's "Suffragette City" from Bowie's immortal The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars album. We already got one cut from that record in the last movie, with the flawless "Moonage Daydream" so another Bowie tune for this one seems like it fits right on the menu.

Check out the Super Bowl trailer here...

Among other things, the trailer gave us this next shot, which not only gives off strong Mike Hodges Flash Gordon vibes, but also has our first look at Elizabeth Debicki as Ayesha, who seems to be the film's villain.

And here are the earlier ones:

We have a detailed analysis of this trailer right here.

James Gunn explained why they're using so much Baby Groot in the movie here.

We've also got the first teaser and its filled with all of the wit, wonder, action, and heart-warming moments (seriously, Drax gives Peter Quill an unsolicitied hug) we've come to expect from this franchise. Maybe you saw it when you went to see Doctor Strange!

Check it out!

Also note, that purple lettering is significant. Ego, the Living Planet is purple! We did a full analysis of the trailer right here.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 Release Date
