"The Wonderful World of Disney" makes an epic return with the network broadcast premiere of Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy," WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23 (8:00-10:30 p.m. EDT), on ABC. (TV-PG 13) An action-packed, epic space adventure, Marvel Studios' "Guardians of the Galaxy" takes the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits - Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon; Groot, a tree-like humanoid; the deadly and enigmatic Gamora; and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy's fate in the balance.
