With Guardians of the Galaxy having surpassed everyone’s expectations, the sequel has become one of Marvel’s most anticipated future films.

Those who attended San Diego’s Comic Con earlier this year were treated to a lengthy clip from the film, while those outside Hall H have been left with only trailer descriptions to suffice.

Thankfully, concept art multiple images have hit the internet, the most recent coming thanks to Empire.

In the image, the original film’s team can be seen taking on a space Kraken/dog with Baby Groot looking particularly shocked.

Speaking to the magazine, Chris Pratt - who plays Star Lord - said: “You’re going to see these characters having to endure the realities of being family.

"You’re talking about a guy who has been longing to know who his father is for a long time. He’ll discover if that person lives up to the expectations he has in his head.”

Kurt Russell will play Star Lord’s father in the film, a character called Ego, the Living Planet. Meanwhile, director James Gunn has spoken out against those criticising the recently reported casting of Mary Jane in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
