Finding that balance, retaining what made the first one so good and adding new elements, is a tough precipice to skirt, and in many ways, Gunn is successful in this second go around.Ĭhris Pratt returns as Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, an unlikely group of thieves and scoundrels who just happened to save the universe in the first part. 2 must capture the same lightning in a bottle that made the first installment so beloved, all the while bringing something different enough so fans won’t feel like they are seeing the same thing for the second time. Not only must the movie succeed at the box office, but like all sequels, Vol. 2 now opens in a completely different scenario: with major expectations. Three years later and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. It was a breath of fresh air in a batch of films about superheroes and explosions that also happened to take themselves way too seriously. Who, besides comic book diehards, had heard of Star-Lord? And a talking raccoon? What the hell was up with that? Yet, Gunn’s film is now one of the most beloved of all the Marvel movies for its ribald humor, throwback aesthetic and witty rapport between its stars. Like its ragtag group of heroes, Gunn’s movie was the scrappy underdog in the ever-expanding universe of Marvel films, lacking the ubiquity of names such as Captain America or Thor.
It seemed like a gamble when writer-director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy debuted back in 2014.
