After getting their first full length trailer aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night, you'd be hard pushed to still be in the dark about Guardians of the Galaxy.
Scheduled for release later this year, Guardians of the Galaxy represents the first significant step into the unknown since the MCU gained centre stage back in 2008 with the cinematic release of Iron Man. I'm aware that all characters within the MCU require a certain suspension of disbelief. Also that this was tested, some might say, to it's limit when Thor took us on a whistle stop tour of his nine realms in The Dark World. There we were subjected to multiple alien races, fighting wars on far off planets. Even Aether toting Dark Elf Malekith, played by Christopher Eccleston.
One thing all of them has shared up to now, is an Earth in peril, and a hero/team of heroes fighting to save our bacon. It's safe to say that we're going to need to be a little more open minded on this one. The clue might be in the word galaxy.
Even though the appearance of Benicio del Toro gives us our tie back into the MCU as we currently know it, I for one am very keen to see where Marvel Studios runs with this one. If Guardians is a hit, the world (or galaxy) becomes Marvel Studios' oyster. Forget The Avengers and Phase 3, this has the potential to go way past that.
Glean what you will from the trailer, as many already have. I just intend to sit back and enjoy the ride!
