Los Angeles - Chris Pratt has been "overwhelmed by feelings of enthusiasm, joy, gratitude, conviviality, camaraderie, elation and exhilaration" since he started working on Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
The 36-year-old actor has just started shooting the Marvel Studios sequel in which he reprises his role as Star-Lord and after getting stuck into the script he is beyond excited about bringing the story to life on the big screen.
In a post on his Instagram account, he shared:
As well as the return of Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Michael Rooker and Karen Gillan are all reprising their roles from the first film - which was released in 2014 and was a big box office success - while James Gunn will direct again.
