A few questions about the new teaser

of the first Guardians — he’s down by Star Lord’s left foot, if you haven’t found him yet — and he shows up, briefly, in the sneak peek, on the shoulder of Rocket ( A reversal of their positions in the first movie, in a cute move). The change in Groot since the first movie has been one of the most commonly discussed elements of the second movie — but how long will it last? In the first Guardians, Groot demonstrated the ability to grow when necessary, so what’s to stop him turning back into the big old Groot we knew and loved?

HAS DRAX CHANGED THE MOST OUT OF THE ENTIRE TEAM?

The big joke of the sneak peek footage is Drax (Dave Bautista) providing emotional support in the worst possible way to Star Lord — but there’s something to be said for the scene, which shows the most development of any of the characters in either the poster or the footage. The “old” Drax was emotionally incapable, but apparently things have changed for this second go-around — even as other things, such as Star Lord’s unrequited affection for Gamora (Zoe Saldana).

JUST HOW MANY TREES DOES AN EGO HAVE?

The sneak peek footage features multiple shots of the Guardians wandering around surprisingly pastoral surroundings. Given that we know that Ego, The Living Planet will be a character in the movie — played by Kurt Russell, no less — what are the chances that the Guardians are actually wandering around on Ego in these scenes...?
