Summary:
- Chris Pratt teased the chance of returning as Star-Lord in the MCU but still left it open to be part of the DC Universe under James Gunn.
- He just wished he would get that opportunity, which would help him manage to juggle roles in both the Marvel and DC universes simultaneously, and he expressed his excitement for the potential crossovers that could come up in the two big cinematic universes.
Chris Pratt, the major star of the trilogy Guardians of the Galaxy, now brings new dimensions with his return as Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and his participation in James Gunn’s DC Universe.
With the beloved Guardians trilogy coming to a close in Phase 5, Pratt hints at the possibility of him being part of the never-ending journey in both cinematic universes.
In a new interview with ComicBook, Pratt is very open with his return to the MCU as Star-Lord and totally open to eventually joining Gunn’s DC Universe. It shows the great prospect of Pratt straddling between the realms, showcasing his versatility and eagerness for new adventures.
“Well, it probably make more sense that I would be Star Lord again. But anything is possible, and especially with James over at DC. Maybe there’s something that would be right over there. Maybe both. How about both? Let’s do both. I think it’s 100% both.”
How Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3 Laid the Groundwork for Chris Pratt’s Next MCU Venture
Everything inside the group changed by the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Some people left, others entered. Of course, the most important one is Star-Lord, whose role is played by Chris Pratt, and he decided to retire and lead the life of Earth.
But of course, this film—like its predecessors—hinted at returning with the revelation that he is set to be back for the next project as “The Legendary Star-Lord.”
This sets the stage for a potential new project featuring Pratt’s character, which could be inspired by the comic book series of the same name. The plot of the journey of Peter Quill as a standalone superhero is one very fascinating narrative direction, considering his previous experience with team dynamics.
When would such a project fall into the MCU release schedule? That is yet to be found out, maybe not even in a faraway Phase 7 if the thread is kept by the ongoing storyline.
As fans eagerly wait for the next adventure of Star-Lord, the future of this character within the wider MCU remains very much a mystery.
