The arrival of Guardians of the Galaxy in theaters is right around the corner, and Marvel Studios seems intent on making sure excitement for the film is running high through this week’s Comic-Con International in San Diego and right into next week’s big premiere with a pair of clips from the much-anticipated cosmic adventure.

The first two clips from the film put star Chris Pratt front and center as Peter Quill (a.k.a. Star-Lord), the rogue adventurer who must rally a ragtag group of reluctant heroes to save the galaxy from Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), a dangerous agent of an even more dangerous threat to the universe.

In the first clip, Peter Quill encounters Korath the Pursuer (Djimon Hounsou) while attempting to steal a mysterious relic. The second clip is the full scene featuring Peter Quill, Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper), and Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) discussing Peter’s “plan” for stopping Ronan. This clip offers a particularly good example of the humor at the heart of the story and the characters’ very reluctant partnership, which both play a big role in the characters’ comic-book adventures that inspired the film.

Guardians of the Galaxy hits theaters August 1, and along with the aforementioned cast, the film also features Karen Gillan as the assassin Nebula, Michael Rooker as the alien Yondu, John C. Reilly as Rhomann Dey, Glenn Close as Nova Prime Rael, and Benicio del Toro as The Collector.

Sixty-eight teams will compete for a chance to make the Final Four in Phoenix and win a national championship.

3 sci-fi movies on Hulu you need to watch in March

Ryan Gosling in "Blade Runner 2049."

Hulu tends to have a good lineup of sci-fi movies, but fans of the genre are really in for a treat in March. That's because Warner Bros. Pictures has lent out two of the best sci-fi movies from the last decade. The downside is that those films on loan probably won't be sticking around for very long, so catch them while you can.

Our picks for the three sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in March include the aforementioned Warner Bros. flicks, both of which were directed by Denis Villeneuve. The third film is a sci-fi comedy that's coming up on its 20th anniversary in 2025.
