We are expecting our first trailer for Marvel’s Guardian’s of the Galaxy on February 18th, but in the mean time there’s a little test footage floating around to get us salivating for the awesome we have headed for us. I mean. The awesome. If the gif doesn’t start automatically, clicking below will take you to another screen where it will.

Yeah, that’s Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper) busy unloading some rapid fire ATOP a very angry Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel). My excitement for this movie has just soared to new heights.

This video first appeared on Gamma Squad in video form, and io9 was nice enough to get us an animated gif.

Guardians of the Galaxy starring Bradley Cooper, John C. Reilly, Karen Gillan, Benicio Del Toro, Glenn Close, Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana, Lee Pace, and Michael Rooker is slated to hit theaters August 1st, 2014.
