Again, we won’t spoil anything specifically, but the first few minutes of the first Guardians of the Galaxy film are worth a refresher. The year is 1988 and a young Peter Quill is in the hospital with his mom (Laura Haddock) and grandfather (Gregg Henry). Mom is very sick and says that Grandpa will take care of Peter until his Dad comes back. Then, she dies. Peter runs away crying but is then abducted by the Ravagers, leaving Earth and his family behind.
