But before even landing a place in the contest, they must complete a skeleton run, with the fastest racers directly qualifying while the others will be involved in a live ski jump.

Those who achieve the shortest distances will have to sit out as substitutes.

Out of this world! 'Pregnant' Zoe Saldana leads the glamour in striking chiffon gown as she attends the Guardians Of The Galaxy UK premiere

With a blockbuster worthy $170 million budget it is the latest film to fall off the Marvel production line – just in time for the box office rush this summer.

But while animated adventure Guardians Of The Galaxy prepared for its UK premiere in London’s Leicester Square on Thursday evening, its leading actress led the glamour –and stole the show – in a sweeping ruffled gown from Valentino Resort 2015.

The 36-year-old plays personal assassin Gamora in the new film, and she was firing on all cylinders as she posed for photos in her chiffon monkey print dress shortly after setting foot on the specially rolled blue carpet that greeted the film’s cast.

Stunning: Zoe Saldana wore a chiffon monkey print gown from Valentino Resort 2015 for the UK premiere of Guardians Of The Galaxy in London's Leicester Square on Thursday evening

Zoe, whose films have grossed a collective $5 billion in global box office takings, greeted onlookers with a warm smile before obliging those who had gathered in soaring temperatures for hours ahead of the one-off event with a round of autographs.

The actress is reported to be three months pregnant with husband Marco Perego, and she's been catching attention on the red carpet of late as her figure has shown signs of a pregnant belly, sparking rumours that she is expecting.

'Zoe is about three months pregnant,' a source told Us Weekly. 'But she will only announce the news when she's ready.'

Side by side: Zoe was joined by Scottish co-star Karen Gillan

Elsewhere E! Online have reported that she is expecting twins, with a separate source telling the website: ‘She’s thrilled.’

The actress was joined by Scottish co-star Karen Gillen, who opted for a wildly different but no less distinctive ensemble, comprised of white collarless jacket with a bold sweeping pattern running across its centre.

Karen, who takes the role of Nebula – one of the film’s villains – added to her look with a striking pleated miniskirt that was no less distinctive by virtue of its wide black belt and overlaid pocket detail.

Fancy seeing you here! The two pals greet each other shortly after arriving on Thursday evening

Strappy ankle boots completed a highly original ensemble for the former Doctor Who sidekick as she greeted Zoe with a warm hug.

Elsewhere Vin Diesel added an element of fun to proceedings by arriving on a pair of jumping stilt – but eschewed the safety helmet commonly recommended for users as he bounced across the blue carpet.

The actor sported a tight black T-shirt bearing the legend I Am Groot – the name of his character in the forthcoming film – and he was in high spirits while chatting to a group of fans wearing identical tops.

Making her day: Hunky Chris signs an autograph for a female fan

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth – whose role as Thor makes him an integral part of the Marvel family – made a welcome appearance at the premiere with Spanish wife Elsa Pataky.

While the towering hunk opted for a grey waistcoat and matching trousers for their night out, whiole Elsa looked typically stunning in a lace embellished semi-sheer dress and nude heels.

The actress completed her look with strappy heels and a highly distinctive leopard print handbag that remained casually slung across her left shoulder while the married couple posed for photos.

Director James Gunn surprised fans by turning up with a live raccoon draped across his shoulders, and the animal appeared rather enamoured with the filmmaker.

The stunt, a reference to Rocket Raccoon – the character played by Bradley Cooper – ensured he caught the eye as the unlikely duo made their way towards the Odeon cinema ahead of Thursday’s screening.

Guardians Of The Galaxy, based on the 2008 comic book version, is the tenth instalment in the expanding cinematic Marvel universe.

The futuristic film focuses on the plight of pilot Peter Quill – played by Chris Pratt, also in attendance on the night – as he becomes the object of a fierce manhunt after stealing a precious orb.

Having already won positive reviews following its Los Angeles premiere on July 21, the film will open in the UK on July 27 before getting a wider US release on August 1.
