2is just heightened compared to its predecessor.

Its bigger and better than the first movie in every way.

And thats saying a lot because I think the first movie is really good.

The reason for Pratts excitement boils down to two words: James Gunn.

James Gunn is the auteur, Pratt said of his director.

Hes the man behindGuardians of the Galaxy.

He wrote the movie, he directed the movie …

The first one and the second one.

So this is completely his vision.

In my opinion, there is no equal in Hollywood.

I think he is the best Ive worked for, and with.

And I owe so much to him.

And, its him.

He added that Gunn knows these characters so deeply now.

Unfortunately forGOTGfans, Pratt was reluctant to give up anything else.

I almost dont want to say anything, he said.

I know that theres enough interest for people to go out and see this movie.

… All you oughta know is I cried when I read the script.

And James Gunn, thank God for James Gunn.
