What they share
Both films are directed by James Gunn, and they both carry the playful, uplifting mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
