"I will say that his pitch and his idea legitimately put tears in my eyes. It is so good, it’s so good. And I cannot wait to get started on it and I cannot wait for people to see what he’s going to pull off with the second movie. " - Chris Pratt

BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS, BABY!

i'm hoping.

bralinator

Nice.

WetRats

Took me a long time to see Groot.

Mr_Cosmic

Is that poster a parody of an album cover?

nweathington

Maybe, kinda, sorta.

mwhitt80

I thought it could be the Ramones cover or a Levi's ad.

Mr_Cosmic

Ah, the Ramones cover..that's probably what I was thinking of.

Torchsong

No Mantis sighting, but I know she's in the sequel. That alone has me signed up for this one.

Who is that to the far left?

I thought it was Nebula?

I like Yondu's larger mohawk, but still reigned in from the comic version.

I concur.

Could that be Jocasta? She looks a little robotic.

No, that's Nebula.

fredzilla

She's briefly seen in the teaser. Also, this is a promo shot, not necessarily something from the film, so no reason a "bad guy" couldn't be hanging with the heroes.

Hilarious. Can't wait.

Mark_Engblom

Not even gonna try to pretend this looks cool. "Baby Groot"? Knock yourselves out, guys.

Matt

I'm into this as much as I'm into the Justice League movie...which isn't very much. This looks like my first MCU pass, unless my wife wants to see it.

matchkitJOHN

Hmmmm. They are really going for the yuks in this one. And selling Baby Groot merch. I'm still going to see it but...just give me some good action and a decent story.

Mr_Cosmic

Well, I think it looks fun. Not that I could ever pass up a movie based on Marvel cosmic.

Love baby Groot riding on Rocket's shoulder..opposite of how it normally is.

Mantis! Another character I never thought I'd see in a movie.

Torchsong

Mantis is in this.

All I needed to hear. Opening day. For every ticket you don't buy, I'm gonna buy two.

I'm not buying 100 IMAX tickets at the ritzy theatre.

I didn't say I'd buy 'em all at once. :)

Torchsong

And let us not talk falsely, people...if this movie introduces more people to the music of Sweet, it has already cemented its place as the greatest motion picture...of...all...time. :)

Mark_Engblom

The movie has "a" Mantis...but not THE Mantis. Not sure why they gave her full-blown antennae, and not just the cool strands of hair she had in the comics. But hey...Hollywood knows better, right?

Torchsong

Which "THE" Mantis are you referring to? The Vietnamese/German warrior woman? Willow or Lorelei from DC and Eclipse? The Celestial Madonna? The betrayer of the Abnett/Lanning run? Kang's wife?

There's room in my world for different interpretations of a character. Lord knows I put up with it with Batman. Doesn't "bug" me in the slightest.

Well said, young man!

I'll see this for the visuals. Like the previous film, the production design seems to be referencing a lot of 1970's science fiction art. Got themselves a pretty strong Jim Burns/Chriss Foss vibe going on here.
