James Gunn's Letter Thanking Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Crew Will Melt Your Heart

It's officially a wrap on filming for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Director James Gunn commemorated the occasion with a heartfelt thank you to his cast and crew.

Gunn posted a lengthy tribute on Facebook, which included a sweet moment between Gunn and his nephew Will and Star-Lord actor Chris Pratt's son Jack.

"Perhaps my greatest memory of making Vol. 2 is this: My little nephew Will and Chris's son Jack visited set on the same day. It happened to be a day when we were shooting the Guardians in their ship, the Milano. Jack took Chris's hand and Will took mine and we walked them slowly through the ship. The boys looked around in awe of this place they had only seen on screen and in their dreams. Chris and I looked at each other and smiled and reminded each other that this was something Jack and Will were going to remember for the rest of their lives, as were we. The Milano can't really fly, but in that moment, it did."

Gunn also gave immense credit to his staff, saying: "I want to thank all of my crew, who have not only helped me to create something special, but who have helped me to create these moments in my life I'll remember forever."

Not satisfied with just crediting the group as a whole, the director proceeded to acknowledge as many individual members of his crew as possible, sighting the tasks and jobs that often go overlooked in a production of this size and scale.

"So this post is for Noah, who drove me, and Todd, who had the uneasy job of knocking on my trailer to bring me to set, to Jake, who loved my dogs, to Ashley, who put cheerful stickers on my sides, to Alan, who asked me how my weekend was every Monday, to Porkchop, whose name, I learned, was actually Gorbachev, but I liked Porkchop better so Porkchop he became, to Camille, who I grilled for gossip from other sets, to Ty, who wore cool band shirts, to Paul, who broke his back carrying that camera in the service of my need for endless takes, to Clay, our stand-in, who has the best 1920's radio serial voice when he reads lines, to Grace, who greeted me every day with a smile, to Adam, who ran dailies when I was at my most exhausted and cantankerous, to Joseph who would make peach ice cream on a Sunday with his daughter and bring it to set on Monday to share (especially to you, Joseph), and to all the others I wish I could mention here. You may think I didn't see you there while I was focused on the film, but I did, and I am grateful for each of you. As I said last night, I know I am not always the easiest person to work for. I can be uncompromising and probably even tactless at times. But I love you all, and this movie is yours, just as it is mine, the producers, and the cast.
Thank you, thank you, thank you."
