The 8 Best Moments From The Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Trailer

After a shorter teaser trailer landed a few weeks back, we now have our first proper look at Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 thanks to a brand new preview that dropped last night. Full of banter, Baby Groot and space monsters - all set to the soundtrack of The Sweet's "Fox on the Run" - the trailer promises that the sequel will be just as fun as we had hoped.

We’ve known for a while that the Guardians would get a new member in Vol. 2. Namely Mantis, as played by actress Pom Klementieff. However, the character has been kept tightly under wraps, until now. The new trailer at last gave us our first look at her and it turns out that Klementieff is not hidden under as much make-up as her some of her co-stars. Apart from her antennae and insect-like black eyes, that is.

In the comics, Mantis is green-skinned, which is obviously something that had to go, otherwise she’d be too similar to Gamora. Her most recognizable attribute – her antennae – are in tact, however, so they did still look to the source material for inspiration. As for how the character will fit in, Mantis seems to be a whole lot more innocent than the other Guardians, which could be fun. It’ll certainly be nice to have a second female teammate.

We also learn that Mantis has the power to sense a person’s feelings if she touches them. Something that causes a lot of embarrassment/laughs for the team.
