Marvel Studios has released three new character posters for Guardians of the Galaxy featuring Bradley Cooper’s Rocket Raccoon, Vin Diesel’s Groot and Zoe Saldana’s Gamora. You can view the posters in the gallery below.
Meanwhile, director James Gunn has also released this tease of Michael Rooker as Yondu. “Yondu was not in the original script. I added him and wrote the role specifically for Rooker. I wasn’t sure Marvel was going to go for either idea, so I was relieved when they responded enthusiastically to both,” he said.
An action-packed, epic space adventure, the August 1 release 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.

But when Quill 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.
