2. Ayesha - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

One of the new characters in Guardians 2 that we hadn't seen before the Super Bowl was Ayesha, a High Priestess of immense standing and power.

The scene is taken from near the start of the film - the Guardians is just the original team here - but Ayesha should have a big role to play across the entire film, with some reports pegging her as the main villain as the piece, or at the very least a thorn in the Guardians' side.

It's clear from the way she speaks to the Guardians - not just what she says, but the sheer contempt in her voice - that she considers herself far above them, and the huge throne room, guards and courtiers, and the fact that she's an entirely gold figure certainly help back that up. She certainly looks impressive, and hopefully James Gunn has struck gold here.
