Chris Pratt Was Confident About Landing Guardians of the Galaxy Role

Chris Pratt says he was confident about his chances of landing the role of Peter Quill after meeting director James Gunn.

Pratt will lead an all star cast in Guardians of the Galaxy later this year; a movie that is set to be the biggest role of his career to date.

And Pratt admits that one he understood Gunn's vision for the film, he was confident that he could deliver that during the audition process.

Speaking to MTV News, the actor said: "I went in and met the director, James, and something happened in that room. He gave me a sense of what he wanted.

I, of course, wasn't able to read a script until essentially after signing up to do the movie. I could tell from what he wanted that it was something close to what I could give.

"It started just becoming real. Then it did. I had a screen test for it. Even during the screen test, I was like, 'Oh, I got this. This is mine. This is mine now.' I knew going in."

Guardians of the Galaxy will mark the first time that Pratt has teamed up with Gunn, as he returns for his first full film since Super.

Pratt will lead an all star cast that includes Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan - to name just a few.

Pratt looks set to see his star rocket over the next year or so, as he is also set to lead the cast in Jurassic World.
