Meanwhile, it looks like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” shall no longer dwell so much on the back stories of the Guardians as the upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy” animated series on Disney XD will be the one to do just that.
The animated series will be premiering on September 26 but teasers have been coming out on Disney XD featuring origin story shorts focused on each of the Guardians.
First off was the back story of Star-Lord, as expected, being the leader of the Guardians, followed by Groot, Rocket, and Drax. Earlier, it was Gamora’s back story which was highlighted in the teaser.
While the first “Guardians of the Galaxy” film shown in 2014 already hinted of the stories of the Guardians in passing, the animated series will dwell on how the Guardians’ past and histories unfold.
The biographies of the Guardians would certainly fast forward the plot of the sequel which already has a playdate of May 2017.
The good news is that Marvel is also uploading the origin story of the Guardians on YouTube, which would make it easier for viewers to follow the storyline of the protagonists as they prepare for “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”
