Marvel Screened 17 Minutes Of 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' IMAX 3D Sneak Peek Footage Before August 1, 2014, Release Date - Fans React!

Guardians of the Galaxy has a release date set for August 1, 2014, but this week lucky theatergoers got the opportunity to see 17 minutes of footage in IMAX 3D! So far the reactions have been positive to the new Marvel movie, but there is also some confusion. Let's break down some concerns and excitement over this summer blockbuster right here!

Fans of the comic book series of the same name are sure to be the most excited about the movie, with other Marvel fanatics right behind them. But those that are only familiar with the movie-side of Marvel's business could be a little in the dark right now.

Yes, Guardians of the Galaxy takes place in the same universe as Iron Man, Hulk and The Avengers. The X-Men movies are made by Fox, so don't expect any tie-ins there. What we can expect is probably a post-credit sequence to tease The Avengers 2: Age of Ultron, but is that even worth it to audiences to see a movie about characters they've never heard of?

From the looks of the sneak peek footage - yes. This movie looks like a whole different take on Marvel movies. Though we're used to some humor mixed in with the action, Guardians is at its heart a comedy with action elements.

Take a look at this brand new, extended trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy:
