You’ve already watched thenew trailerforGuardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,right? If not, do that now, otherwise this selection of images is going to seem downright bizarre out of context. Well, to be fair, they’re pretty bizarre regardless of context thanks to the title team battling such space monstrosities asAbilisk, and for the trusting of Baby Groot with high explosives. But if you’ve seen the first film, you’re probably all-in on the weirdness already.
While this new trailer doesn’t offer up a whole lot of info about the plot of the film itself, itdoesfinally give us a great look atPom Klementieff’s character, Mantis. TheMarvel superheroinehas a pretty interesting and involved backstory and power set, but it’s not clear just how those will translate onto the big screen. Whatisclear is that Mantis' design fits perfectly into the world ofGuardians of the Galaxy, and her personality jibes well with this bunch of a-holes.
Written and directed byJames Gunn, the follow-up reunites the titular Guardians of the Galaxy—Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (Bradley Cooper), and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel)—to battle a new threat and search for Peter Quill’s father.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2also starsKurt Russell,Karen Gillian,Elizabeth Debicki,Michael Rooker, andGlennClose,and opens in theaters on June 24, 2025.
