Chris Pratt Welcomes a Possible Guardians Reunion With James Gunn

Chris Pratt said he would be glad to work with James Gunn again on a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy movie, following the news that Gunn and Peter Safran would leave DC Studios. Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel executive, is set to become the studio’s president and chief creative officer after the leadership change announced on November 9.

Pratt said he had not spoken with Gunn since the news emerged. He praised their past collaboration and said he would welcome Gunn returning to the franchise if the director wanted to do so.

Gunn directed all three Guardians of the Galaxy films, released in 2014, 2017 and 2023. Pratt played Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in those movies and appeared in three other Marvel films: Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame and Thor: Love and Thunder.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was presented as the franchise’s final film, but its end credits indicated that Star-Lord would return. Pratt has spoken about wanting to bring the character back and said in October that the studio had taken “hard action” to make that happen. Neither Pratt’s comments nor the leadership change confirms a fourth film.
