Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: James Gunn's Biggest Reveals From Quarantine Watch Party

Originally they were solely going to cameo in “Avengers 3” but by the time I was writing the screenplay for Vol 2 it became something more. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2 https://t.co/RnUH74GN0n

Dairy Queen was not product placement. I chose it for nostalgic value and because it’s logo changed drastically in the last thirty years. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

Kurt Russell kept calling @prattprattpratt “Star Wars” instead of Star Lord in this scene. He couldn’t get it out of his head! 🤣#QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

I don’t remember them (or the robot brothel) ever being brought up. Vol 2 was the easiest movie ever in terms of dealing with the studio. They gave me pretty much free reign and their notes were always well thought out. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2 https://t.co/d08C6mZba6

I thought of that while making it!! #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2 https://t.co/GO7GHFNsYc

Nebula Gamora battle directly based on the crop duster scene in North by Northwest. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

I love Brandy but I’ve always found it such a dark, sad song. I wanted to have Ego manipulate Quill’s ego through his love for pop culture. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

Yes we talked about it a lot. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2 https://t.co/pZ8uK8c1vM

There are TONS of Easter egg skulls in that pile of Ego’s murdered children. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

Coming off of the success of Vol 1 I think a lot of us were battling with our egos in one way or another - so all of Vol 2 is autobiographical in that way. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

Because it had multiple uses. One would be to use it as a weapon against someone he didn’t like. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2 https://t.co/ohNfDDH3qh

“I’m Mary Poppins, y’all!” Is the most quoted line to me from the Guardians among with “We are Groot.” I also have Rooker saying “I’m Mary Poppins, motherfuckers!” #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

The other thing that moves me is Nebula hugging Gamora back with only her hand. It’s something @karengillan did in rehearsals and I kept it. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

To me, Rocket having tears in his eyes in the last shot, after seeing the arrow in the sky is him seeing the possibility of God and something beyond for the first time in his life. Life is so much bigger than what he thought. #QuarantineWatchParty #GotGVol2

I think he tore it off some helpless guy while he was sleeping.
