Since James Gunn, Kevin Feige and all the desperate click-bait web sites out there have spoiled Guardians of the Galaxy 2 for a lot of fans (me included), today I received a copy of the "Art of the Movie" book--and decided to open it.

No worries as I am not posting specific Guardians of the Galaxy 2 spoilers, but the book is full of gorgeous concept art!

I'm paging through it right now (not reading anything as to avoid possible spoilers), so take a look at Sylvester Stallone as Stakar Ogord, aka Starkhawk, concept art!

You can order the book through Amazon.

Also check out green-colored Mantis concept art.
