The full trailer offers a couple of firsts worth noting. For one, we get to hear some dialogue from both Rocket and Groot and they sound spectacular! There’s also our first look at Glenn Close as Nova Prime. But overall, the trailer (again accompanied by a killer soundtrack, this time Norman Greenbaum’s … Continue reading WATCH: Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer
