First 'Guardians of the Galaxy' clip debuts featuring Chris Pratt

The first official clip for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which makes its U.S. debut on Aug. 1, has dropped thanks to MTV. The clip features Peter Quill aka Star Lord (Chris Pratt).

Check out the clip below:

The movie has no shortage of unique characters, but perhaps none tops Rocket Raccoon, a walking, talking, cybernetically-enhanced raccoon with a penchant for weapons and plenty of attitude. Bradley Cooper provides the voice of the character in the upcoming movie.

Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige said in press notes for the film (via Comic Book Movie) that it was crucial for the character to not seem cartoonish.

"We had designed the character and it looked awesome," he said. "So it really came down to see who fit the part best and it included Bradley Cooper's scenes with [Robert] DeNiro in Silver Lining Playbook. It was very cool and very real, and the fact that we actually got him to do the film is just one of those wonderful things."

Cooper added that the voiceover work was a learning experience for him but praised director James Gunn and his work.

"There's a lot of humor and a lot of heart in this movie," he said. "All the relationships are very clear and emotional and the stakes are obviously high and with the flavor of James Gunn, it has a comedic appeal to it. I think people are going to be blown away by how unique and fresh this film is."
