Pratt is set to reprise the role of Peter Quill in the film, and reveals that he is eager to get underway on the film and bring Gunn's vision to life.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Pratt said: "What I will say is that his pitch and his idea legitimately put tears in my eyes. It is so good. It's so good. And I cannot wait to get started on it and I cannot wait for people to see what he's gonna to pull off with the second movie.
"It's gonna be so, so big and so good. From what I understand, they were like - they heard it at Marvel and they said nothing. They were like, perfect. There was no micromanaging of the idea. They just loved it so much that they didn't have a note for it. It's going to be remarkable."
Guardians of the Galaxy hit the big screen for the first time last year and went on to be one of the biggest critical and commercial hits of 2015. It is currently the fourth highest grossing Marvel film of all time behind Avengers Assemble, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Iron Man 3.
