James Gunn shares a funny story about filming the Guardians of the Galaxy movies with Chris Pratt. The franchise has become a big part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the last several years. Both the first movie and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 were praised by audiences and critics alike. Many appreciated Gunn's offbeat approach, embracing the zaniness of Marvel's space characters. Pratt's Star-Lord and others were last seen in 2019's Avengers: Endgame. However, some will return in Thor: Love and Thunder, with Pratt recently confirming he's heading to Australia to film the movie soon.

After that, the team will reassemble for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, out in 2023. The six-year delay between Guardians films is due to Gunn's brief firing from the project after some tweets of his resurfaced. In the interim, Gunn took a job directing The Suicide Squad, which needed to be completed before he could return to the MCU. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will feature 2014's Gamora, who hasn't bonded with Star-Lord and the others very much. The movie will likely explore Gamora rebuilding her relationships with the other Guardians, alongside the space adventures audiences have come to expect.

Considering how enjoyable the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are to watch, it's no wonder the cast and crew have a lot of fun making them. Recently, Gunn shared a funny story about working with Pratt, revealing the actor makes "pew pew" noises while using space guns. Check out Gunn's full anecdote below:

Gunn's story about Pratt is nice to hear for a few reasons. One, it shows those working on the film aren't so caught up in the pressure of making a big budget Marvel film that it stops them from having a good time on set. The story also proves even major stars like Pratt are still human and prone to amusing slipups. Gunn sharing the behind-the-scenes reveal about the actor means Pratt must not be too sensitive about it and finds it funny as well.

Gunn's recent tweet is the latest in a long line of fun details the director has shared about the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. He often takes to social media to answer fan questions and tease story details. Hopefully, it's a practice Gunn continues throughout 2021, especially as filming on the new movie nears. Though excitement for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is already high, it should only increase in the coming months.
