Nobody is more excited about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 than Chris Pratt. The original was the start of what turned out to be an excellent few months for the star, as he went on to headline another box office hit with Jurassic World, which helped to solidify him as one of Hollywood's most bankable actors.

With filming on the Guardians sequel set to begin next month, Pratt has taken to his Instagram account to share his excitement about the film, along with a snapshot of Star-Lord's latest mixtape...

Feels good to be back in action on Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2!!! I can't even tell you how excited I am. Ok I'll try. I'm ecstatic. I'm bursting with joy. I'm overwhelmed by feelings of enthusiasm, joy, gratitude, conviviality, camaraderie, elation, exhilaration. I just used an online thesaurus for these words. I suggest trying that. That way instead of saying "I'm very excited" say, "I'm exhilarated." Never too late to learn words. The pen is mightier than the sword. I never got that. I could whoop someone's ass if I had a sword and they only had a pen. WAIT!!! Now I get it. Cause you could use a giant pen with a dagger on one end? And a gun on the other end? No? Whatever. Point is... Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Is going to be the greatest spectacle film of all time. This is not.... bear with me... using online thesaurus..... Hyperbole! This is not hyperbole!

In case you couldn't tell, Pratt is really exhilarated about the sequel. Almost as much as we are impressed, mesmerised, and dazzled by his use of an online thesaurus. Clearly Drax is rubbing off on him...
