Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most anticipated geek movies of 2014.
Set to mesh several genres together and featuring some amazing superheroes, you can probably understand why we’re quite excited to see this new image from the James Gunn production.
Screen Rant reports that the first-look photo of the cast was shot during the first few days of filming.

The still from the movie comes with the official Guardians of the Galaxy synopsis in Disney’s 2014 movie preview:
“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. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.”
Better than The Avengers? Who knows? But we’re very, very excited about this one!
