Watch The First Clip From Marvel’s ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’

Briefly: We’re still a few months away from the film hitting theatres, but MTV has just debuted the first clip from James Gunn’s highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy.

The clip revolves around the orb that we saw in the film’s first trailer, and… well, take a look at the clip and see how things play out. Guardians of the Galaxy hits theatres on August 1st!

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchise of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits -Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand–with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
