Extended TV Spot For Guardians Of The Galaxy

After what could be considered a little bit of a PR disaster with Edgar Wright walking away from the director's chair of the upcoming Ant-Man and all  talk of forced Marvel re-writes, Marvel's marketing department has been heavy in their promotion of August's Guardians of the Galaxy.

Guardians has been all over TV for the past two months, not necessarily rare, but still fairly early before its August 1st release. The early ad campaign means more footage coming out to persuade green audiences, which can be pretty fun for anyone looking for sneak peeks. Guardians of the Galaxy has released a new extended TV trailer that not only gives us more glimpses of the film, but more idiosyncratic soundtrack choices, on par with the past "Hooked On a Feeling" and "Spirit In the Sky" trailer appearances.

The new trailer gives us more time with all the characters, but specifically Glenn Close's leader of the Nova Corps, Irani Rael, and the absolutely awesome Rocket Raccoon, voiced by Bradley Cooper. The trailer also shows us a bit of destruction on the what looks to be a human home planet, Xandar. And to score the whole deal? The Runaways'"Cherry Bomb." Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters on August 1.

Here's the official synopsis for Guardians of the Galaxy:

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 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.
