Ever since the first full trailer from Guardians of the Galaxy was shown on Jimmy Kimmel Live I’ve been antsy for more.

In this exclusive first look from MTV, there isn’t a ton of new stuff, but what’s there is good. It opens with an extended segment from that Raiders-esque scene that shows Chris Pratt’s “Star Lord” attempting to steal an apparently precious item and being discovered by guards. In the extended scene we’re shown that Star Lord/Peter Quill is more than just a loudmouth; he’s also got some serious action skills to back up his words. In the ensuing array of clips I think there might be a couple of quick flashes of things not shown before, but I’m not really sure.
Having said that, the clip is definitely worth a watch just to see how Star Lord escapes the guards.
