"Guardians of the Galaxy" follows the newly-formed team who finds a strange artifact keyed only to the DNA of Peter Quill.

Upon opening it, Quill unleashes a treasure map leading to a powerful weapon known as the Cosmic Seed which is capable of giving birth to the next universe.

It’s up to the Guardians to find, protect and ultimately destroy the Cosmic Seed in order to keep it out of the hands of those who would abuse its power; from galactic big boss Thanos, to the conniving brothers the Collector and the Grandmaster, to a resurrected Ronan, to the ultimate trickster Loki, in order to save the universe.

Written and directed by James Gunn, the film earned over $770 million at the worldwide box-office.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
