'Star Wars' & 'The Goonies' Inspire New 'Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2' Posters
If you think Marvel has gone crazy with the promos for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, they might've dropped more on us the last time. One of the best was an awesome throwback paying homage to Star Wars: A New Hope, perfect for a superhero film that was awash in nostalgia. Well they're pulling the same trick again with two '80s-inspired posters that pretty much demand to be bought and hung on your wall.
James Gunn revealed the two one-sheets, one clearly a nod to The Goonies, the other based on The Empire Strikes Back. I would say there are elements of both movies that figure prominently in 'Vol. 2', so these are about as perfect as it can get. Can't wait to see what they use for 'Vol. 3'. Perhaps The Last Starfighter?
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 opens May 5th. My review will be up later today.
