Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 comes out in just a few short weeks. The film debuts in theaters on May 5th, but there was a press screening last night in Los Angeles so we’re beginning to see the first reactions from critics.
And while critics were screening Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 the lead cast members of the film, including Kurt Russell and Chris Pratt, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. While on Kimmel, Kurt and Chris joked about potential spoilers with Kurt possible leaking some mid-major spoilers. Jimmy Kimmel even got in on the spoiler leaking action. I’ll let you bros leave now if you’re not interested in learning any of the stuff below.

Firstly, here are some critic responses that were fresh as they left the screening:
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is funnier than the original, a ton of surprises, and an unexpected emotional profoundness. I am Groot.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is a whole heap of fun. Gorgeous, a bit mad, and surprisingly emotional. And yes, Baby Groot is everything.

Aaaaaand we’ve got the naysayer. There’s one in every crowd:

Now, let’s check out all that chatter about the post-credit scenes. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has made a habit out of putting scenes after a film’s credits which hint at the next installment of the MCU. This time around, there’s reportedly multiple scenes. Not one, not two…but FIVE additional scenes:

The minor spoilers don’t stop there, though, because the cast talked about how long Kurt might appear on camera and the appearance of another famous actor in the film. All of these spoilers are told while people are joking around, but if you look at Chris Pratt’s face throughout the segment it’s clear that he thinks they probably shouldn’t be discussing that stuff so I’m inclined to believe that Sly Stallone will be appearing in the film:
I’m more stoked for this film than any other movie in 2017. The best news yet? There’s going to be a trilogy. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hasn’t even hit theaters yet but they’ve already signed a contract to produce a third film…Hell. Yes.
