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.
Official source · Disney Movies ↗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.
