Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer Is Classified and Coming Soon
14 hours ago
The first trailer for Marvel's highly-anticipated Phase Two sequel Guardians of the Galaxy will likely debut in the next couple of weeks, now that the trailer has been classified and given a PG rating by the Alberta Film Ratings Board earlier today. Marvel hasn't confirmed a release date for the trailer, but normally after a trailer is rated, it debuts in theaters or online within a week or two. The trailer runs 2 minutes and 23 seconds, and just because the trailer has been rated PG, doesn't mean the movie itself will be given a PG rating. It will likely be rating PG-13 just like all the Marvel movies before it.
The first trailer was rumored to debut during Super Bowl Xlviii last week, until director James Gunn revealed that wasn't happening, though teasing "something incredibly awesome" is coming soon.
