Talking to TotalFilm for his or her Might 2023 version, Chris Pratt had this to say about his future as Star-Lord:

“I do not see any Quill in my rapid future. I feel this journey feels full. I would not wish to rule it out, as a result of I’ve completely liked taking part in the character, and perhaps there’s extra story to inform.”

Pratt undoubtedly sounds extra open to returning than Zoe Saldana and Dave Bautista, who’ve each mentioned they’re finished taking part in Gamora and Drax, respectively. Director James Gunn just lately informed Empire, nonetheless, that the “Guardians” forged has his blessing to hold on within the MCU at the same time as he jumps ship to the Distinguished Competitors:

“It might completely not be disloyal of [the actors] to proceed on within the Marvel universe. I’d like to see any characters that stay [at the end of the film] get solo motion pictures, or be part of the Avengers, or a brand new model of the Guardians, or no matter.”

Quill is certainly not a part of the brand new Guardians on the finish of “Vol. 3,” and if he got here again, he would undermine Rocket’s new place as chief. As Pratt mentioned, Peter’s journey does really feel full, so I do not suppose a solo film is the way in which to go both. Nevertheless, since Star-Lord is on Earth now, he is nonetheless fairly near the middle of motion within the MCU. I would say that is the most certainly path for Quill’s return: cameos in different Earthbound heroes’ motion pictures/TV collection or perhaps even becoming a member of the Avengers. For now, nonetheless, I am content material with the character having a relaxation and it appears like Pratt is simply too.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” is presently taking part in in theaters.
