Directed and written by James Gunn, the 44-minute TV special reunites the Guardians as they “set out to Earth to find Peter Quill the best present,” according to a synopsis.
Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and Sean Gunn all reprise their roles from the first two films. New cast members include Kevin Bacon who plays a fictionalised version of himself and Maria Bakalova as Cosmo the Spacedog.
The special is scored by composer John Murphy, who collaborated with Gunn on 2021’s The Suicide Squad. He’s also known for his collaborations with Danny Boyle, having worked on 28 Days Later, Millions and Sunshine.
