The first trailer of "Guardians of the Galaxy" movie has been released. The movie is turning out to be one of the highly anticipated ones for the year 2014. Will Marvel be able to pull off another blockbuster franchise with the new characters?

The new trailer gives viewers a glimpse of the new universe in the upcoming movie. The 5 super heroes include Peter Quill or Star Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer. The main villain in the movie is Ronan the Accuser.

Peter Quill or Star Lord is a humanoid and protagonist in the movie. The character is played by Chris Pratt. The voice of the gun wielding Rocket Raccoon is by Bradley Cooper and the tree like Groot is by Vin Diesel. The green alien woman Gamora is played by Zoe Saldana.

The story of the movie revolves around the adventurer Peter Quill and a mysterious Orb. After discovering the true power of the Orb and the threat it poses to the galaxy in the wrong hands, Peter has to band with a group of misfits to keep it from reaching the hands of someone evil.

Ronan, played by Lee Pace, is after the Orb and will pursue Peter till he gets it. Peter and his companion heroes will have to make a last stand against Ronan to keep the Orb, as the fate of the galaxy rests on the result of the final battle.

Groot is the last remaining member of his race and so is Gamora. Rocket Raccoon and Drax the Destroyer are opposites in terms of their physique. Will Peter be able to fight off Ronan with this group of misfits?

The movie has generated a lot of excitement among the fans on social media. Many movie buffs who did not know about the movie and stumbled on to it are also excited. The movie will be released on August 1 2014 in the U.S.

Will "Guardians of the Galaxy" make a huge splash at the box office? The star power in the cast which includes Vin Diesel may certainly help. For movie fans who are tired of seeing "Batman," "Spiderman" and "Superman" movies, the new characters may be a welcome change.
