Marvel fans are in for a very exciting 2017, with (for the first time) three films coming from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the same year – Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok – although the film all eyes are really on is 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, the epic conclusion of the Infinity Stone plot that’s been threaded through the MCU films since 2011’s Thor.
Long gone are the days of six core Avengers, with a team now made up of almost a dozen heroes, who are split after the events of Captain America: Civil War.
On top of a sprawling narrative and a myriad of contracts, though, there’s also the matter of that other major Marvel super-team: the Guardians of the Galaxy.
