Thanks to the ABC-Disney-Marvel relationship, Jimmy Kimmel got a nice leg up on new competitor Jimmy Fallon last night, as he had the exclusive premiere of the highly anticipated “Guardians of the Galaxy” trailer. Now it’s online, and you can check it out too.

So, are you ready to see Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Benicio Del Toro, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Chris Pratt and others, all in one huge special effects-infused superhero movie together? It was teased after the credits of last year’s “Thor: The Dark World”, but now, we have our first proper look. Yup, that really is Bradley Cooper playing CGI character Rocket Raccoon.

From the unique-but-comedic tone of the trailer, I’d say Marvel is doing something right yet again, with the type of adaptation that has no need to take itself TOO seriously. Watch it above, and then try to get “Hooked on a Feeling” out of your head.
