Speaking with Screentime, Pratt was asked which of his iconic roles he’d love to return to. He immediately went to the MCU. “We made a promise with Guardians of the Galaxy that Star-Lord would return,” he said. “I think I would really love to make good on that promise.” Pratt also played along with the interviewer’s humorous pitch for a Star-Lord solo movie called Star-Lord Assemble Music Mission.
Will Star-Lord Return In Avengers: Doomsday?
The prospect of a Star-Lord solo movie is unlikely, and the same can be said for a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film. However, there are still spots on Marvel’s upcoming slate where Peter Quill could pop up. The most obvious ones are the two Avengers movies that are on the horizon. With Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars set to feature a plethora of characters from a variety of alternate realities (covering just about every corner of big-screen Marvel adaptations), it would seem odd if the showdown against Doctor Doom came and went without any appearance from Star-Lord.
Pratt was notably not one of the actors listed during the record-breaking Doomsday cast reveal livestream that took place last year. As we saw with the “Steve Rogers will return” teaser, that doesn’t mean Pratt isn’t in the film, but there’s evidence that he’s sitting this one out. While Avengers: Doomsday was in production, Pratt reportedly had a scheduling conflict, as he was said to be filming a new season of his TV show The Terminal List. The possibility of him returning for Doomsday remains on the table until the film has been released (Pratt could have always connected with the Russo brothers to shoot something when he had free time), but from the sound of things, Star-Lord won’t be in Doomsday.
