Guardians of the Galaxy was one of those 3rd-grade comic books which no one really cared about. But considering the fact it was Ironman (a subsidiary character at best, in the comics) who helped launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this isn't the first time they have created magic out of nothing.

The first Guardians movie has superstars such as Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper, but people were less than thrilled when they learned one was voicing a tree and the other a raccoon. Chris Pratt was known as the goofy guy from Parks & Recreation, Dave Bautista was a washed up WWE superstar, and Zoe Saldana was getting nothing but supporting roles. The movie was going to suck, right? WRONG.

It was one of the best movies of 2014 and everything from the soundtrack to the performances were phenomenal.

Cut to 2016; Marvel isn't as fun as it used to be and people are getting bored. Perhaps Guardians of the Galaxy 2's wry sense of humour is what they need? James Gunn released a teaser trailer last night. Check it out:

We get glimpses at all the things we loved from the first movie while not learning much except that Yondu (Michael Rooker) finally has a badass mohawk like in the comics.

The movie is set for a May 2017 release. Will this be the movie which revitalizes Phase III of the MCU? What do you think?
