'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn has publicly announced that the script to his sequel film is now complete, and recent news has revealed that it brought lead actor Chris Pratt to tears.

In an interview with Digital Spy, the actor spoke on what can be expected in the anticipate sequel film and what exactly got him so emotional.

Here's what he had to say:

"We've talked a little. I know some of the songs that are going to be on Awesome Mix Vol 2. All I can tell you because - obviously, I'm not allowed to say anything, nor would I want to because it would be 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'. What I will say is that [Gunn's] pitch and his ideas legitimately put tears in my eyes. It is so good, it's so good. I can not wait to get started on it and I can not wait for people to see what he's going to pull off with this second movie. It's so big and so good. From what I understand, Marvel [heard Gunn's pitch] and they said nothing. [It] was that perfect. There was no micromanaging of the idea. They just love it so much they didn't have any notes for it. It's going to be remarkable."

Fans still have a while to wait before the sequel film is released but along with Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Vin Diesel are all set to reprise their roles.

'Guardians of the Galaxy 2' is set to release on May 5, 2017.
