Marvel Studios has shared the first trailer for James Gunn's upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which will debut on Disney+ this Christmas as a "Special Presentation" akin to the recent Werewolf By Night.
The story focuses on Drax and Mantis trying to cheer Star-Lord up after the loss of Gamora by travelling to Earth in an attempt to locate a very special person: Kevin Bacon!
As previously rumored, the Holiday Special will indeed feature the MCU debut of the Footloose star. It's not exactly a major spoiler, but we didn't want to ruin the surprise in the headline!
Check out the trailer and poster below, along with the official synopsis and cast list - which includes Michael Rooker! If Yondu is set to return, we assume it'll be via either flashback or dream sequence.
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. The Marvel Studios’ Special Presentation stars Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, featuring 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 second "Special Presentation" is set to hit Disney+ on November 25.
