It's rather interesting that recent production reports have suggested that original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller attempted to replicate the tone of Guardians of the Galaxy while shooting their portion of this movie.

While much of that was clearly wiped out by Ron Howard coming onboard, there is nevertheless an early moment that feels distinctly Guardians-esque.

During the aforementioned war sequence, we get our first glimpse at Beckett, who is seen standing atop a hill, wearing goggles and a long jacket while firing at enemy troops.

From behind, it gives Beckett a not insignificant likeness to Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) at the beginning of the first Guardians movie. It probably doesn't hurt that they're also both desperately shooting at enemies on a murky-looking planet.
