James Gunn has been 'actively involved' in converting every shot of Guardians of the Galaxy to 3D.
Gunn is in the director's chair for the second Marvel film this year, and has been working on the 3D in post-production.
And the filmmaker reveals that audiences will get 'something extra' if they see the film in 3D.
Writing on his Facebook page, Gunn said: "Just got out of working on the Guardians cut for IMAX 3D and I’m unbelievably excited about it.
"Guardians of the Galaxy has been planned as a 3D film from its very inception. Yes, if you see the film in 2D, you’ll get a full experience. But the 3D experience promises a little something extra.
"Unlike many directors, I’ve been actively involved with converting every shot to 3D, making sure it works perfectly for the story and the film, making sure it’s spectacular and immersive without being silly, distracting, or overly showy.
"3D conversion was once far inferior to shooting in 3D, but over the past couple years new technology has allowed us incredible control over the 3D effects, making it equal to or in some cases greater than shooting in 3D."
Guardians of the Galaxy is one of the most anticipated films of the summer, as we are introduced to a series of new characters in Marvel's most adventurous project to date.
Gunn has brought together a terrific cast, as Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, and Benicio Del Toro are just some of the names on board.
Guardians of the Galaxy is released 31st July.
