Seeing how director's and production teams bring the cinema magic to life on the big screen is always entertaining, and director James Gunn shared some of the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 magic with fans on Instagram.

If you've seen the trailer for Guardians Vol. 2, which currently has a 4.48 out of 5 on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings, you'll recognize the ship in the picture as the Milano. The ship moves gracefully through the air on the screen, but in reality, the cockpit portion is seated on a platform without the wings, which are added in post production. Gunn shared the photo on his Instagram Instagram account with the caption "The Milano, in trouble."

It will all be okay, though, as long as Groot doesn't hit the death button. Granted, that doesn't look likely to happen either, so really everyone is just doomed.

Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin. New cast members include Pom Klementieff (Oldboy), Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby, Everest), Chris Sullivan (The Knick, The Drop) and Kurt Russell (The Hateful Eight, The Thing).

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on May 5, 2017.
