Okay, Guardians of the Galaxy fans: collective sigh of relief. 

In a new interview with Digital Spy, the Star-Lord himself cosigned director James Gunn's idea for Guardians of the Galaxy 2:

"I will say that [James Gunn's] pitch and his idea legitimately put tears in my eyes. It is so good, it’s so good," Pratt assured. "And I cannot wait to get started on it and I cannot wait for people to see what he’s going to pull off with the second movie. It’s so, so big and so good."

But, of course, Pratt wasn't about to reveal anything more: "I’m not allowed to tell anybody anything, nor would I want to, because it would be a little bit like telling a kid what’s under the tree before Christmas morning. I would encourage people not to poke holes in the paper and peek. Allow yourself the Christmas morning. Don’t ruin it."

On June 2, Gunn took to his various social media accounts to announce that the first draft of Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is officially finished.  

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is estimated to start production in the first-half of 2016, and will be heading to theaters on May 5, 2017.
