Most of you are probably a bit chilly right now, dreaming of sunnier, warmer times. And while August seems like a long way off right now, we’ve got a couple of new goodies from Guardians of the Galaxy, August’s most anticipated flick from Marvel. First we have a new official synopsis and then a picture of our heroes.

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand–with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.

This line up looks like the concept art picture we saw from the San Diego Comic-Con. Check that out here. Can’t wait to see more!

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.
