Fans all expected for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 to tie up the trilogy neatly, as we knew writer and director James Gunn was moving on to head up the projects at DC, including his own Superman.
But the post-credits scenes in Vol. 3 painted a more hopeful picture of the Guardians’ future, including the explicit MCU title card, which read, “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.” You can’t get clearer than that! But we have no idea when that will come to fruition.
When Pratt was recently asked by TMZ about his character’s possible return to the MCU, he explained:
“Well, there’s always a chance. But of course, I wouldn’t be able to spoil it here on the sidewalk with you. I could, but I better not. Man, I just have to leave that to the fans and people like James to decide. I’m not exactly sure. I’m truly not sure.”
So it sounds like Pratt hasn’t heard what the plan is either. Although, he wouldn’t have told us if he had! We will just have to wait and see how it all shakes out with Star-Lord, as well as the remaining Guardians of the Galaxy.
