About the Movie:
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 entire 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 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.

Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18
