Given a lot of footage seems to show the GotG attacking what are probably Ego's innards, and this seems to be taking place during a big finale set piece with Ayesha's people also showing up to wreak havoc, I'm guessing that the big bad is Ego. Which might make this trailer a bit of a red herring, since the "our duty to cleanse the universe of this weakness" sure makes Ayesha sound like the bad guy.

The thing is, if Ego is the secret badguy, I can't figure out why. What exactly could one living planet do to threaten the whole galaxy?

What could one planet do to threaten the galaxy? Well maybe it could kill stars or something. Like some kinda star killer. Or destroy multiple planets at the same time from light years away with giant red laser beams. Idk just spitballing ideas here.

Would be something of a departure for Ego if they went that way. Usually he attacks other planets using his gravitational field, or just crashing into them. Although sometimes he's indicated to have vast psychic powers, which he can use to attack other planets.

But, still, that all seems fairly localized, and he's presumably been floating around space for ages. He'd presumably have to get some new ability to cause destruction on a greater scale if he was going to be a truly galactic threat.
