The Guardians of the Galaxy return in the first official trailer for the third and final film instalment of the Marvel franchise.
The two-minute clip features Chris Pratt and his band of goofy space heroes traversing a variety of intergalactic worlds.
“We were gone for quite a while, but no matter what happens next the galaxy still needs its guardians,” Pratt says.
It’s time to face the music.

CGI action abounds, with the Guardians seen in multi-coloured space suits jumping through an alien world.
“We have been running our whole lives,” Pratt says.
“Pete, I’m done running,” Rocket, played by Bradley Cooper, replies.
Directed by James Gunn, the third Guardians movie sees the return of previous franchise stars Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan and Pom Klementieff as well as Vin Diesel as animated tree-man Groot.
