At one point in the video, he encounters an 8-bit version of Gunn, who introduces himself as a “Galactic Adventurer,” only to be met with a “Who?!?!?” from Star-Lord (aping a clever scene from the opening of the film and trailers).
While it’s likely that this sequence simply frames some of the special features and isn’t actually a playable game, there’s always hope that we’ll see an 8-bit Galactic Adventurer game, given Marvel’s well-documented attention to fan-favorite elements of the film and its promotional campaign.
Guardians of the Galaxy earned more than $768 million so far at the global box office, and is currently the highest-grossing film of the year in the U.S. with more than $330 million in ticket sales. It arrives on DVD and Blu-ray December 9.
