A handful of critics have been given the go-ahead to weigh in on The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, and it sounds like filmmaker James Gunn has done it again!
As you can see below, it's being praised as "a new Christmas classic," and another emotional addition to the MCU. Gunn has managed to tug on our heartstrings with both of his Guardians of the Galaxy movies, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that we'll need to reach for the tissues this holiday season.
It also sounds like Cosmo steals the show, with Maria Bakalova clearly making her mark as the character. As expected, though, this Marvel Studios Special Presentation will primarily focus on Drax and Mantis as they visit Earth to acquire Kevin Bacon for their pal, Star-Lord.
We'll hopefully be able to share a review with you soon, but these early reactions definitely bode well.
In The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, the Guardians, who are on a mission to make Christmas unforgettable for Quill, head to Earth in search of the perfect present.
Marvel Studios' second Special Presentation stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, and features Vin Diesel as Groot and Bradley Cooper as Rocket, Sean Gunn, and The Old 97's, with Michael Rooker and Kevin Bacon.
James Gunn wrote and directed The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. The executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Brad Winderbaum, Gunn, Sara Smith and Simon Hatt, with David J. Grant and Lars P. Winther serving as co-producers.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will premiere on Disney+ on November 25.
