Well this is a treat for film fans, James Gunn has released the full script for Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 online for free.

The writer and director posted a link to the script on Twitter, and created a long thread with lots of little bits of filmmaking trivia that we found quite interesting:

If you go all the way to the end, you'll see (or rather, read) an extended scene with Teen Groot that was cut "because it is funnier to read than it was to watch".

"It just happens that way sometimes," Gunn said. "Who knows why. I thought it was funny on set."

Gunn wanted each scene performed as written in this script before any improvisation occurred, with most of the improv being done by himself or Chris Pratt.

The post-credits scene regarding Adam Warlock was in there from the beginning, but the scene about Ravagers came to him in a vision as he awoke and was filmed in reshoots.

Speaking of Adam Warlock, he's not necessarily going to be in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3.

"The time must be right," Gunn tweeted.

Gunn actually started writing the treatment for vol 2 on the day the first film was released in cinemas, which shows how far he's thinking ahead.

Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3 could arrive in 2020, but you'll see the team next in Avengers: Infinity War.
