Chris Pratt is more than a little excited to be Star Lord once again

I'd imagine that even Marvel was surprised with how well GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY was received, but with a sequel on the way, they must be feeling the pressure to deliver something on par or greater than the first film. James Gunn has returned to write and direct GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2, and with production set to officially kick off very soon, we've already seen several photos of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Michael Rooker rehearsing for the new sequel. Everyone seems very pleased to be returning to the Marvel universe, but Chris Pratt is feeling particularly excited to be busting out Awesome Mix Vol. 2.

Feels good to be back in action on Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am. Ok I'll try. I'm ecstatic. I'm bursting with joy. I'm overwhelmed by feelings of enthusiasm, joy, gratitude, conviviality, camaraderie, elation, exhilaration. I just used an online thesaurus for these words. I suggest trying that. That way instead of saying "I'm very excited" say, "I'm exhilarated." Never too late to learn words. The pen is mightier than the sword. I never got that. I could whoop someone's ass if I had a sword and they only had a pen. WAIT!!! Now I get it. Cause you could use a giant pen with a dagger on one end? And a gun on the other end? No? Whatever. Point is… Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Is going to be the greatest spectacle film of all time. This is not…. bear with me… using online thesaurus….. Hyperbole! This is not hyperbole!

Got to love to an actor who gets into character right off the bat. 2014 was a great year for Marvel, both GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY and CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER stood out as the best, at least for me, of what Phase Two had to offer. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 will be sharing 2017 with both THOR: RAGNAROK and the untitled SPIDER-MAN film, here's hoping that history will repeat itself with another block of success for Marvel.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 is set for a May 5, 2017 release.
