Movie Review Project

The production of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 took place in Pinewood Atlanta Studios under Marvel Studios. James Gunn, who was the script writer for the film, did not like the idea of having a vast range of characters, as he wanted to focus towards establishing a more in-depth connection with them this time around.

The pre-shooting process began on February 11, 2016, where there was a slight change of plan in regards to the crew members from its previous film, such as the cinematographer and production designer being replaced since they were occupied with another movie franchise,  Doctor Strange .
