Chris Pratt says that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 will be worth the wait after an emotional first day of filming. Pratt plays Star-Lord/Peter Quill in the Marvel franchise, the third installment of which is once again directed by James Gunn. Pratt famously got buffed-up for the role, which he has played four times thus far (with a fifth appearance set for the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder), including the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films, as well as Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Gunn was originally fired by Disney from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 when some of his previous "offensive" tweets resurfaced. Gunn went on to direct DC's The Suicide Squad for Warner Bros., before being hired back for Guardians after Disney had a change of heart. Now, Gunn is in production on the new Marvel film, filming it back-to-back with a planned Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which is set to release in 2022. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was originally slated for release in May 2020, but Gunn's temporary removal and the COVID-19 pandemic shuffled the project all the way to a new date of May 5, 2023.
Now, Chris Pratt has shared the same cast image that Gunn had posted from the first day of filming, citing his feelings about the kickoff of production. The actor said in the post that the day couldn't have started off any better with a "delicate, emotional, funny, wild, complicated scene" that "everyone absolutely killed." Pratt goes on to laud the "mad genius" Gunn before promising that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 "will be worth the wait." Check out his post below:

Pratt is coming off the hit Amazon original film The Tomorrow War and has a stack of projects on the way. Next year, he'll be seen again as Owen Grady in the recently-wrapped Jurassic World: Dominion, as well as the Amazon series The Terminal List, based on the novel by Jack Carr. Pratt recently stirred controversy when he was cast as the voice of Mario for Illumination and Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. animated feature, as well as the voice of Garfield in a new animated movie about the classic cartoon-strip cat.
Pratt has taken a lot of heat in Hollywood, due largely to his unwavering stance on sharing his personal views, perspective, stories, behind-the-scenes videos and more on social media. He recently took flack for saying he had a "healthy" daughter with wife Katherine Schwarzenegger, which prompted many on social media to break out the digital pitchforks in defence of his former wife, Anna Faris. It's well within Pratt's right to post an appreciation post for his wife on her birthday and not have to walk it back, regardless of how "cringeworthy" or offensive some strangers on Twitter may have found it. With 33.5 million Instagram followers, however, the star could likely post about his breakfast and be criticized; it's all part of the celebrity game. In the end, however, it's clear that most fans are just interested in Peter Quill/Star-Lord, who there will most certainly be plenty of in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Thor: Love and Thunder, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
