Big movies are released every week in the summer movie season, but that’s not going to stop Marvel from cranking the marketing machine to full blast. I think their big task will be to entice those completely unfamiliar with GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. With TV spots generally being only 30 seconds long (at most), that’s a pretty tall order given the subject matter. Think they pull it off?
Get your Guardians fix here:
Obviously fanboys (myself included) are chomping at the bit for this movie, but I’m curious to see whether or not audiences will flock to this like they have THOR: THE DARK WORLD or CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. There’s a lot of super heroes and villains on the sidelines that I feel may get a shot if audiences are willing to accept something outside of the norm of “everyday man gets super power/suit and exacts justice”. We’ll know in about two months!
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY will open August 1, 2014.
