How long has it been since people were saying that the first Guardians Of The Galaxy would be Marvel Studios’ first big flop? Nine years? Yeah, well, since then, not only have the Guardians' movies become some of the Marvel Cinematic Universe' (MCU) biggest hits, they’ve also grown to be almost as big as the Avengers themselves.

Since their first movie in 2014, the Guardians have expanded beyond the five original members – Peter Quill/Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper), Drax The Destroyer (Dave Bautista), and Groot (voice by Vin Diesel) – to include Nebula (Karen Gillen), Mantis (Pom Klementieff), Cosmo the SpaceDog (voiced by Maria Bakalova), and Kraglin (Sean Gunn).
