During ComicBook.com’s Quarantine Watch Party of Guardians of the Galaxy, some secrets from the 2014 Marvel movie finally came out! Director James Gunn was dropping knowledge bombs on top of knowledge bombs. One of the comments from Gunn during the screening of the film included his perspective of Star-Lord dropping the precious orb when presenting it to the Collector. “On the director’s commentary I say [Chris Pratt] dropped the orb on accident because I thought he did,” Gunn said. “Just last year he told me hee actually did it on purpose. I believe him about 90%.” Pratt doubled down.

“Hundred percent intentional,” Pratt said in a tweet responding to Gunn’s. “Better to ask forgiveness than permission. I learned that doing Parks and Rec. I smashed everything on that set.” The moment is beloved from Guardians of the Galaxy, as Star-Lord possesses one of the most powerful objects in the Marvel Universe but maintains his clumsy demeanor by fumbling it when handing it over.
