With Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 so close, the studio is doing a big final push for the marketing. That means more TV Spots, including some new glimpses of Ego, Drax, Nebula, and of course Baby Groot.
The new spots are titled "Intense", "Thrilling", and "Epic", and intertwined with all of the standard footage are a few new clips of Ego (played by Kurt Russell), as well as a few new jokes from Drax and Rocket Raccoon. If that doesn't do it for you, you can always get some delight from the dancing machine that is Baby Groot these days, who have to admit inspires some jealousy with just how much rhythm a tree evidently has.
Hit the next slide to see the new TV Spots. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 currently has a score of 86.50 on ComicBook.com's composite rankings. You can find the official synopsis below.
Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage.

Intense
Even with some forewarning from their newest member Mantis, nothing could have prepared the Guardians of the Galaxy for what they are about to face. Being stuck in the middle of a war will have that effect on just about anyone, even when you have the capable hands of Rocket Raccoon and Baby Groot on deck. Okay, the latter member is on the small side, but don't tell him that. You won't like him when he's angry.
Thrilling
Fans knew the franchise was in good hands with director James Gunn at the helm, and Marvel Studios is banking on that good word of mouth spreading rapidly after audiences have a chance to see it on the big screen. The reviews are mostly positive, and to celebrate the studio even included a bit more of Kurt Russell's Ego in the new TV spot.
Epic
You can't hold the Guardians of the Galaxy down, so why would you even try? Critics are responding quite well to the film thus far, and in the "Epic" TV spot there's a healthy helping of new footage for fans to enjoy before the film's wide release. Seriously though, be honest, you're only watching for more great Drax quotes and more dancing Baby Groot. Who knew trees had so much rhythm?
