The new footage saw the familiar faces of the team back together, including new member Mantis. It also gave some fresh looks at villains from the original movie, Yondu and Nebula.

The difference in these two characters however, is that Yondu didn’t look like much of a villain in this trailer. In fact, he looked a bit like a part of the team.

Towards the end of the trailer, Rocket and Groot even tell Yondu, “Welcome to the friggin’ Guardians Of The Galaxy.” That sounds an awful lot like an invitation to the team.

Back at San Diego Comic Con, it was revealed that Yondu would be a much more heroic character in the sequel. Peter Quill will be struggling when meeting his real father, and he will need the stability of his longtime father figure Yondu in the process.
