We’re all a little Groot, aren’t we?

Marvel released the new trailer for “Guardians of the Galaxy” today and it’s pretty fun.

The trailer gets across that the movie is – aside from an adaptation of the comic series and Marvel’s attempt to branch out into the cosmic superhero realm – sort of a mix of “Star Wars,” “Firefly” (especially with the ragtag band of borderline criminals as heroes) and its own brand of comic adventure.

Fun tough guys.

And Rocket, the space raccoon who’s probably the heart of the movie.

You can find the trailer here, on io9.

“Guardians of the Galaxy” opens Aug. 1.
