Set to the strains of Blue Swede’s Hooked on a Feeling (a key song from the original film), the new footage shows us clips of the Guardians in action as Gamora (Zoe Saldana) runs with knives (very dangerous, Gamora), Nebula (Karen Gillan) gets her head put in a bag and Quill (Chris Pratt) receives relationship advice from Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista).

Sure, we didn’t learn anything about the story or even see much of the action, but no matter – The Guardians are back, and we can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be released in UK cinemas on 28th April 2017
