Latest reports on "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" said that the first official trailer of the upcoming sequel has been classified, which may mean that it is relatively near.

Lately, the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) rated the first trailer for the much-awaited Marvel sequel. Rumors suggest that the trailer might be out within next week and might even be released before or along with the UK debut of "Doctor Strange" on the 25th. Marvel Studio, however, is yet to confirm this.

It has also been revealed by BBFC that the teaser trailer will have a running time of one minute and 29 seconds,which is quite short, but it will already offer avid fans who weren't at San Diego Comic-Con a sneak peek of the anticipated movie.

Kurt Russel, one of the cast members who will be playing Star Lord's father, Ego the Living Planet, recently noted that the film is something incomparable.

"I was impressed with the stuff that I saw at Comic-Con, but they didn't show you everything [laughs]. It's a very complex story, and they really get into it," he told Collider. "I thought it looked great too. I was really impressed with it, really impressed with it. I mean, believe me, from knowing the script, to see that and what he did with that sequence, I'm excited to see the movie [laughs]. I think it's going to be really good."

On the other hand, Van Diesel, who is the voice-over for Groot, teased that the younger Groot in the film is much different from his older self.

"He couldn't be more naive as Baby Groot. I always think of the Groot that we saw on the first Guardians as a college-level Groot, so he's not fully grown yet, but he's a man," he spoke to Collider. "And once he sacrifices himself at the end of the movie, now he has to start all over, so to speak, but we're gonna see this goofy, adorable, baby Groot thing running around the screen and just learning as he goes."

"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" will premiere on May 5, 2017.
