Exciting news for “Guardians of the Galaxy” enthusiasts! Chris Pratt, who has breathlessly portrayed Star-Lord in six films, has confirmed that his character is set to make a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). During his recent appearance on The Playlist’s “Bingeworthy” podcast, Pratt revealed that Marvel has taken significant steps to ensure that Star-Lord will be back.
Promises and Partnerships
“I have a great relationship with Kevin [Feige] and Lou [D’Esposito], and there have been both ongoing conversations about how we make good on that promise and also hard action taken to make sure that we make good on that promise,” Pratt shared. While he expressed excitement about Star-Lord’s future, he remained tight-lipped regarding the timeline of his character’s return, stating, “So yeah, you’ll see Star-Lord again, which is very exciting, but I’m not at liberty to say when that’s going to be, but he’s not going anywhere.”
Pratt’s Vision for Star-Lord
This confirmation comes after Pratt hinted months earlier about his eagerness to pitch ideas for Star-Lord’s comeback in the MCU. During an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, he mentioned, “I’m happy to do anything they want me to do and will. And also, I personally have a really strong vision of what I would want him to do. And I think it’s fucking great.”
When asked if he had presented this idea to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige, Pratt affirmed, “Yep. And I think that, you know, I’m down to contribute any way I can to them setting up the next 10 years of storytelling, you know? And also, I have a pretty strong idea of how I think I could contribute to that.”
Star-Lord’s Journey So Far
Chris Pratt’s beloved Star-Lord has appeared in several major films, including “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Thor: Love and Thunder,” and most recently, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” The latter concluded with a text during the credits promising that Star-Lord would indeed return.
