Kurt Russell’s character makes his debut at the end of the trailer. “After all these years, I’ve found you,” Ego the Living Planet tells Star-Lord (Pratt).
“And who the hell are you?” Star-Lord — a.k.a. Peter Quill — asks.
“I’m your dad, Peter, ” he tells his shocked son.
The trailer — aside from spotlighting Baby Groot in all his cuteness — also offers another look at the new villain, the golden Ayesha (Elizabeth Debicki), who wants to “cleanse the universe” of fear, jealousy, and betrayal.
