'Guardians of the Galaxy' trailer debuts tonight on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' with Chris Pratt

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has been one of the most intriguing movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for several reasons. The characters are not as well known, much of the plot takes place in outer space and it's simply more bizarre to the casual moviegoer than even a Norse god or a giant green monster.

But all the talk will soon turn to the first official trailer for the film, which debuts Tuesday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live when Chris Pratt, who plays Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the movie, appears as a guest on the show.

In advance of the trailer's release, USA Today posted three new stills from the movie that feature Star-Lord, the entire team together and their ship "The Milano." The following information also comes from USA Today:

"The movie teams five disparate personalities: Peter Quill (Pratt), aka Star-Lord, was taken from Earth as a 9-year-old, possesses a mysterious orb artifact and pilots the Milano, a muscle car of a spaceship. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is connected to Thanos, arguably the cosmos' biggest baddie. Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) is a muscular dude you don't want to upset. And then there are the aliens Rocket Raccoon and Groot (computer-generated characters voiced by Bradley Cooper andVin Diesel, respectively), who are best pals and potentially the biggest things to happen to pop culture since Chewbacca. 

Their stories converge in the space prison Kyln. After the characters break out, they venture to Knowhere (the severed head of a celestial being that serves as a hangout for aliens) and visit the weird menagerie of the Collector (Benicio Del Toro). They also have to avoid two villains, Ronan (Lee Pace) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), who are in hot pursuit of Quill's orb, which has the power to destroy the galaxy."
