2. James Gunn Has Already Picked Out 12 New Songs For The Soundtrack
Although nobody is quite sure as to which songs Gunn has selected, the writer/director has confirmed that he has chosen the next 12 songs for use in the movie, thus confirming that the coolest soundtrack of 2017 will indeed by the one that goes with Guardians Of The Galaxy 2. When asked about the new tracks, Gunn didn't reveal any names, but he did go as far to say that he picked all of the songs by himself and nobody else helped:
"It's already in my head, and every song is in the script, just as I did on the first movie. I pick every song myself. There has never been any input from anyone else."
Interestingly, Chris Pratt has said otherwise and even suggested in a Jurassic World press junket that he had recommended a few songs to Gunn for use on the soundtrack and that they might actually wind up in the film as a result. Still, any soundtrack compiled via the combined efforts of James Gunn and Chris Pratt is bound to be super awesome.
