Chris Pratt has made his feelings clear about his MCU future and a Guardians of the Galaxy 4 reunion with James Gunn. The filmmaker has previously worked on all three movies in the blockbuster franchise.
Speaking to Jonathan Blomberg of MovieZine, Pratt shared his thoughts on the possibility of doing another GOTG film. When asked if he would agree to the fourth part, the actor instantly said, “That would be awesome. I love working with James. He’s the man.”
Gunn recently stepped down as DC Studios’ co-CEO and chairman. Pratt is aware of the news, but he said he hasn’t talked to him about it yet. “But you know it’s interesting because anytime something like this comes up and you say it, then it kind of could become a headline. So all I’ll say is I love James.”
Why James Gunn’s return would mean so much to Chris Pratt?
Chris Pratt is aware of James Gunn’s style and treatment of Guardians of the Galaxy characters and their dynamics. According to Pratt, it makes sense for Gunn to do another installment. “He directed all three, and that’s pretty rare in those types of trilogies to have the same director through all three. So if he wanted to come back and bring it back, man. I would love that.”
The filmmaker brought a lesser-known Marvel team from the comics and made it a fan-favorite group of misfits. Gunn’s first GOTG movie came out in 2014. Its huge success led to a 2017 sequel, and the trilogy concluded three years ago with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
As for the actor’s MCU comeback as Star-Lord, he’s made it clear the character will return. In an interview last month, Pratt said fans will 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.”
Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything about Chris Pratt’s future in the MCU, a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy movie, or even James Gunn’s return to the franchise.
