The world publicity tour for Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 kicked off in Tokyo last night, and while ComicBook.com didn't have boots on the ground -- we promise, we're working on that -- Disney has released a number of official promotional images from the event that get a sense for the fun the cast and crew were having.
The fan meet-and-greet took place at the Shin-Toyosu Brillia Running Stadium, and as you can see from the photos in the attached image gallery, the cast certainly had fun (and the principal cast members on hand, as well as writer/director James Gunn, got snazzy jackets).
Gunn posted the photo above to Facebook with the caption the "prom was fun."
No word yet on additional dates for the world tour, but expect to hear details soon.
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. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).
