Guardians of the Galaxy is set to be one of the biggest blockbusters of 2014, as we are introduced to these characters for the first time.
Guardians of the Galaxy will be the second of two Marvel movies, as the studio looks set to continue its box office domination; Avengers Assemble, Iron Man 3 and Thor: The Dark World have all raked in the cash in the last couple of years.
James Gunn is back in the director's chair for the film, and he has assembled an incredible cast list.
We got our first real look at the movie and the central characters this week with the brand new trailer. Now, we are going to introduce you to the Guardians of the Galaxy:
- Peter Quill; Chris Pratt
This is set to be the biggest acting role of Pratt's career to date as he teams up with Gunn for the first time.
Quill finds himself plunged into a world of adventure after finding a mysterious orb.
- Gamora: Zoe Saldana
Zoe Saldana is no stranger to the big budget blockbuster, having already found success with the Star Trek franchise.
She takes on another strong character in the form of Gamora, and this is one woman that you do not want to mess with.
- Rocket Raccoon: voiced by Bradley Cooper
Double Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper steps into the Marvel world as he brings the character of Rocket Raccoon to life.
And as Cooper points out, this character has a few anger issues.
- Drax The Destroyer: Dave Bautista
Dave Bautista has made the successful transition from wrestler to actor, and now he is taking on the biggest role of his career.
Drax The Destroyer is on a revenge mission on this film and is ready to kick some ass.
- Groot: voiced by Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel is one of the newest additions to the Guardians of the Galaxy cast list, as he is set to voice the character of Groot.
Groot is set to be one of the most awesome looking characters that Marvel has brought to the big screen.
Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe.
To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits - Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer.
But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand... with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
Guardians of the Galaxy is released 1st August.
