And there's a lot of mysteries in Guardians 2 ." Describing the teaser trailer, Jacob Hall of / Film felt, "It's telling that this trailer can get away without actually selling the plot of the movie . Audiences didn't fall in love with the first Guardians of the Galaxy because they were entranced by yet another Marvel Studios movie built around a villain who gets his hands on an Infinity Stone...the bulk of this trailer is dedicated to this group bouncing off one another, which is the real star attraction . Whatever villainous plot they have to face is secondary to Drax laughing himself silly at the expense of Star - Lord having an unfortunate psychic encounter ."

The spot generated the most Twitter conversation volume during the game with 47,800 conversations, according to comScore and its PreAct service . The service which "measures data from Twitter volume using official hashtags from a pic's trailer as well as other keywords intended to isolate the conversation about the film," measured the volume of trailers that aired during the game from the time it aired through the end of the game, and was limited to conversations in the United States and Canada . The film also topped a Fandango survey as fans' favorite film trailer during the Super Bowl . An additional trailer debuted on February 28, 2017, on Jimmy Kimmel Live! . Haleigh Foutch at Collider.com felt the trailer added "hype" to the film, and was "just an all - around wonderful trailer, lit up with the wacky humor and irreverent charm that made the first film such a hit, with an extra dose of visual splendor ."
