Gunn, who is set to begin filming "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" in February, also opened up about British actor Tom Holland, the latest actor to play Spider-Man, who will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time in "Civil War." "Tom Holland is…off-the-charts awesome," the director said. "Off. The. Charts. Awesome. Off the charts. Truly. Hand to my heart, he's amazing," he gushed.

"Civil War" follows the story of the Avengers as they deal with a new government-enforced system that aims to regulate their activities.

"Civil War" stars Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey, Jr. (Iron Man), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), Don Cheadle (War Machine), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Paul Bettany (Vision), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch).

"Captain America: Civil War" is scheduled to hit the big screen on May 6.
