Marvel Studios has released the first trailer for The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special — and includes a surprising cameo.
Guardians filmmaker James Gunn wrote and directed the special, which closes out Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff and Sean Gunn.
In Guardians lore, Star-Lord (Pratt) reveres actor Kevin Bacon and his work in the dance-centric movie Footloose. The Guardians decide to meet Bacon as a way to give Star-Lord some holiday cheer, as he is mourning the loss of Gamora (Saldana).
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige announced the holiday special back in December 2020. The special joins Werewolf by Night as part of Marvel’s Disney+ plans to share stories that are neither theatrical films nor full streaming series.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special arrives on Nov. 25, just weeks after Black Panther: Wakanda Forever opens in theaters.
As for the Guardians, they will be back on the big screen for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which arrives May 5, 2023.
