And finally, the trailer introduces viewers to one of the movie's new characters, Mantis, as played by Pom Klementieff.

She has a distinctly alien make-up job and set of antennae, and tells Star-Lord, "If I touch someone, I can feel their feelings", before placing her hand on his hand.

Apparently Mantis will become a member of the Guardians and share a certain bond with Star-Lord, due to being raised by his father, Ego (Kurt Russell).

More interesting and potentially amazing female characters in the MCU? Yes please.
