They were the superheroes that came out of nowhere, a rag-tag bunch of misfits from a lesser-known Marvel comic. Expectations for their arrival on screen were zilch but Guardians Of The Galaxy was the surprise hit of 2014.
With its irreverent humour, awesomely nostalgic soundtrack and characters including a mutant tree man with a limited vocabulary, a vicious mercenary racoon and two daughters of a certain Titan, it brought a whole new attitude to the MCU. Such overnight success demanded a sequel and the gang returned, as promised, three years later.
