On Tuesday ABC is set to air the hour-long documentary special Marvel Studios: Assembling a Universe, which will show off new footage from Marvel's various Phase Two offerings, including our very first look at The Avengers: Age of Ultron. But, in the meantime, a few images have arrived online via Idle Hands from the Guardians of the Galaxy segment, which give us our first look at Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) and Nova Prime Rael (Glenn Close), as well as new shots of Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), The Collector (Benicio del Toro) and Nebula (Karen Gillan)...
"From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team — the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer 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 Peter 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 set for release on August 1st, with James Gunn (Super) directing a cast that also includes Vin Diesel (Riddick) as Groot, Bradley Cooper (American Hustle) as Rocket Raccoon, Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) as Korath and John C. Reilly (Step Brothers) as Rhomman Dey.
