One of my favourite meetings ever was meeting you for the role and getting to see the whole movie on walls because you’d storyboarded the hell out of it!!

In case you can’t recall, this particular scene is when Nebula blows up Gamora’s space pod outside of Knowhere. Peter Quill insisted on saving his love interest by giving her his helmet.

7. Chris Pratt chimed in about his near death experience.

I was really sick. I couldn’t equalize sinus pressure. Anyone who SCUBA dives knows how uncomfortable that is 12’ underwater. That was the last day of filming and I remember thinking that was smart because I was gonna die but at least they had the rest of the film in the can. https://t.co/GoHq06TZmN
