Guardians of the Galaxy 2 teaser trailer released, features baby Groot

'There are two types of being in the universe - those who dance and those who do not'

The first teaser for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 has been released and it seems James Gunn's sequel will keep exactly the same tone as the 2014 interstellar smash.

As a dramatic montage sequence showing characters Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Yondu (Michael Rooker) and Peter "Star-Lord" Quill (Chris Pratt) plays out, "Hooked on a Feeling" - the Blue Swede song memorably used in the first film - can be heard playing.

Following this, Drax the Destroyer (Dave Bautista) can be heard telling Star-Lord, "'There are two types of being in the universe - those who dance and those who do not' before a brief cameo from Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper) and Vin Diesel's now-baby Groot.

You can watch the teaser above.

A full trailer is expected to be shown alongside the cinematic release of Marvel film Doctor Strange which is released in UK cinemas next week.

Earlier this year, a scene from the film, showing Yondu and Rocket Raccoon escaping from a jail cell with the help of the adorable Baby Groot, was shown to audiences at San Diego Comic-Con. This was then followed by a trailer, which opened with Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" and the Guardians attacking an inter-dimensional beast. This footage is yet to apepar online.

It also featured the debut of Kurt Russell's Ego the Living Planet, who has already been revealed to be Star-Lord's father.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 will be released in the UK on 31 July 2017.
