Writer and director James Gunn has confirmed he has finished writing the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2014 Marvel movie.

Sharing a picture of the front page of the script where the date of the final draft is clearly shown as January 10, he wrote: "Coming to you presently, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista (Batista), Michael Rooker, Sean Gunn, Vin Diesel (sic)".

In a comment to a fan later on, he added: "I always make very tiny changes along the way, but this is essentially the final draft."

Meanwhile, the 45-year-old filmmaker also teased a few new characters when he was asked why Bradley Cooper's name had been omitted from the list.

He shared: "Bradley [Cooper] and Karen [Gillen] are not on FB. Also had to leave a couple off this list who haven't been officially announced. (sic)"

And James previously revealed the new movie will "focus more intensely on some of the characters".

He said: "It's both a bigger movie and a smaller movie because we focus more intensely on some of the characters. We get to learn a lot more about fathers in the second movie, and we focus a lot on that."
