They got Kevin Bacon!! Now this looks like it'll be adorable. Marvel Studios has revealed the first official trailer for this year's delightful Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, arriving for streaming on Disney+ during Thanksgiving Week. Who doesn't love a good Holiday Special?! They're always so bad, yet so good. Maybe this one will bring some good tidings to everyone at the end of 2022. Actors Chris Pratt, Pom Klementieff, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Sean Gunn, Bradley Cooper (as Rocket's voice), and Vin Diesel (as Groot's voice) reprise their roles as the Guardians, with Kevin Bacon also starring. Writer / director James Gunn had worked on the concept for this special for several years before it was initialy announced in December 2020. It was filmed this year during the end of production on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, using many of the same sets for that movie - which is due out next year. This trailer has a few glimpses of the X-Mas sweaters and holiday cheer that's in this. It all seems so wonderful and uplifting.
