Marvel Studios has released a new wave of character posters from James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy now focusing on the villains of the film after our heroes were spotlighted earlier this month. The new hi-res posters offer us a glimpse of Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace), Korath (Djimon Hounsou), and our best look yet at the stylish design of Nebula (Karen Gillan).

From Marvel, the studio that brought you the global blockbuster franchises of Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers, comes a new team–the Guardians of the Galaxy. An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Unierse into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand–with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.
Directed by James Gunn, Guardians of the Galaxy stars Chris Pratt, Zoë Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Djimon Hounsou, Benicio Del Toro, Glenn Close, Karen Gillan, Lee Pace and Michael Rooker and is expected to arrive in theaters on August 1, 2014.
