After teasing us with a short 15-second video, Marvel has released the first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy. If you’re not an avid comic fan, Guardians of the Galaxy is a sci-fi epic featuring a superhero team tasked with defending the — you guessed it, galaxy.

The film adaptation of the comic is one of Marvel’s next big bets, featuring a large cast of names including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Glenn Close, Benicio Del Toro and more. And while it might not have the mass market appeal of other superhero flicks like Iron Man, this latest trailer shows that it’s definitely a film to watch out for when it releases on August 1st.
