Behind the name

Meet Peter Quill

Peter Quill, played by Chris Pratt, becomes the target of a bounty hunt after stealing an orb wanted by Ronan. In Guardians of the Galaxy, his escape brings him into an uneasy alliance with Gamora, Drax, Rocket and Groot. That collision of competing interests is the starting point for the team.

Watch the gap between confidence and cooperation

Peter often has something to say before everyone agrees on a plan. Watch how the other characters respond, and when he starts listening as well as performing. His place in the group becomes clearer through those exchanges, while the music gives many scenes a distinctly personal rhythm.

Where to start

Start with Guardians of the Galaxy and Vol. 2 before following the team into Infinity War. The crossover involves several other storylines, so use its film guide for the wider context. Later appearances remain linked below rather than being treated as one uninterrupted solo series.
