Guardians of the Galaxy AND Footloose? Wait – what??
Marvel Studios is feeling the holiday spirit, and giving you a very generous early holiday present – the first trailer for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special! And, kick off your Sunday shoes – there’s a surprise cameo in it!
Guardians filmmaker James Gunn wrote and directed the special, that closes out Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff and Sean Gunn — actors who will now all be exactly one degree from Kevin Bacon.
As you may remember, mixtape lover Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), is a big fan of actor Kevin Bacon, and his work in the movie Footloose. The Guardians decide to meet Kevin Bacon as a way to give Star-Lord a little holiday cheer, as he is mourning the loss of Gamora.
Kevin Bacon worked with James Gunn on 2010’s Super, and he’s talked before about being name-checked in Guardians of the Galaxy. He told Esquire magazine last year: “When I saw Guardians of the Galaxy, I went to see it having no idea that I was discussed. It was an afternoon in New York, I was on 67th Street and went by myself, as I often do. I was like, ‘Holy sh**. They’re talking about me. Are you guys getting this?’”
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige announced the holiday special back in December 2020. The special joins Werewolf by Night as part of Marvel’s Disney+ plans to share stories that aren’t theatrical films or full streaming series.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special arrives on Nov. 25th And the Guardians will be back on the big screen for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, arriving May 5, 2023.
We are Groot!
