Chris Pratt Believes ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’ Will Be ‘Greatest Movie In History’

Maybe he is just biased, but Chris Pratt already believes “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” will be “the greatest movie in the history of movies.”

The actor, who plays Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star Lord, in James Gunn’s upcoming film, drummed up hype for the film when he posted the IMAX poster for the upcoming film on Facebook.

He said the movie has already gotten a surprisingly high rating from Rotten Tomatoes, and he suspects it will win every award there is to be won, including medals at the Olympics.

One of the most exciting things about the new movie has to be the introduction of Star Lord’s father, Ego (Kurt Russell). Gunn earlier revealed during an interview with Complex that he’s made certain changes to the comic book character and made him into a “normal person.”

“Ego is a living planet who is able to manifest himself in different ways he’s been alone for millions of years and he's learned how to control the molecules around him in such a way as to create avatars of themselves, such as Kurt Russell,” Gunn said. “I think Ego was a very lonely character out there by himself and went off in search of love and perhaps found it in Quill’s mother.”

Despite being another movie from Marvel, Gunn also said that he is not pressured to connect “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” to “Thor” or the “Avengers,” since it is a “100 percent self-enclosed story.”

“I know what their plans are,” Gunn told The Daily Beast. “But there’s just nothing I do to service that within ‘Vol. 2’s’ story; all that’s important is ‘Vol. 2.’”

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” will hit theaters May 5.
