2014's smash Guardians of the Galaxy movie was laced with
eight-track-era gems, including Redbone's "Come and Get Your Love" and
Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling." The music in the upcoming sequel
Vol. 2, out on May 5, will include George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord".
After a chart-topping, platinum soundtrack album, the awesomeness of
that mix is no longer in doubt – and since the movie ended with Pratt's
character, Peter Quill, discovering "Awesome Mix Vol. 2," music will be
just as essential to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, due May 5th,
with its soundtrack album out April 21st. This time, Gunn had a bigger
budget, which allowed him to include familiar songs from superstar acts:
George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord," Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" (every
band member watched the scene that features the song before giving
approval) and ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky" – which scores what Gunn calls "the
most hugely insane shot I've ever done," early in the film. "It's the
perfect song to start the movie," says Gunn, "because it's really
joyous, but there's a really dark underpinning to it."
