As we’ve said time and again here at ITM, there’s no better place in the world to see a Disney (or Marvel, or Lucasfilm) movie than at the El Capitan Theatre in the heart of Hollywood, California. This Disney-run venue always pulls out all the plus and offers guests something they can’t get anywhere else – pure, unfiltered Disney magic.

Last night at El Capitan, the theater hosted the latest opening night spectacular for Marvel Studios, this time for James Gunn’s terrific sequel “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.” Gunn was even on hand (alongside actress Pom Klementieff, who plays the new character Mantis in the movie) to introduce the screening, which was actually part two of a fan-fueled “Guardians of the Galaxy” double feature.
