Movies that feel likeGuardians (2017)

During the Cold War, an organization called "Patriot" created a superhero squad, which includes members of multiple Soviet republics. For years, the heroes had to hide their identities, but, in hard times, they must show themselves again.

If you loved Guardians, the closest films we have are Krrish (2006), The Man from the Future (2011) and Alienoid (2022). All three share Guardians' cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons (2013).
