Marvel announced they will not be releasing the exclusive Comic Con trailer because it is still in the early stages of development. Journalists lucky enough to view the limited screening, such as Ryan George at Screen Rant, have given promising antidotes to the trailer. Recent trailers, such as the new Ghostbusters movie and Ubisoft’s Call of Duty, have received harsh early pre-release
criticisms. YouTube has quickly become the newest popular culture metric for “pre-hype worthy” content – a phenomenon unique to the digital sphere.

Thought of the Day:
More Comic Con leaks include, Kurt Russell as “Ego, the Living Planet.” Russell is excited to fulfill the role of the giant planet hell-bent on ruling the Universe.
One aspect of a meaningful content marketing campaign includes the ability to control spoilers before the anticipated launch date. *But those rules don’t apply to actor Chris Pratt, Star Lord, who leaked the upcoming movie poster on Instagram early for fans.*

From the enormous cast of Marvel super-heroes, who would you have chosen for the #NASA mission patch
Marvel licences 7,000+ fictional super heroes, and with the guidance of NASA, both agencies narrowed down the pool of candidates to just two. Inevitably, the characters Rocket Raccoon and Groot were a perfect fit for the patch due to their fictional story arcs mostly taking place in space. Marvel and NASA will be partnering later this year to focus on a #STEAMInitiative, featuring Groot and Rocket Raccoon
Guardians of the Galaxy appears to sustain release-hype for now while the focus shifts to whether the franchise will meet fans expectations with “Volume 2” on May 7, 2017. Chris Pratt, shared with reporters at #2016SDCC that “Volume 2’s” story-line is set months after the events of the first. Pratt himself hinted at Star Lord’s increased Twitter presence due actions from the first movie. Consequences from Volume.1 have rendered the protagonist now “famous” (Twitter verified, duh) in the Galaxy.
