Preparing for the Sequel – Will Chris Pratt Return to GOTG Vol 4?
James Gunn clarified that he would not return to do the other parts. He also mentioned GotG has planned only for three parts, but if Marvel is likely to make another part as per comics, there are many repetitions, so there might be a chance to get the fourth volume of the film.
Chris Pratt’s appearance in the Guardian of the Galaxy franchise is enthusiastic, and his portrayal as star-lord is so energetic to watch the movie. Also, he is often active on social media and posts many behind-the-scenes from the sets of the film. Pratt also actively promotes the franchise’s promotional events and interviews.
If the franchise decides not to have him for the upcoming sequel, then that would be an absolute loss. Chris Pratt also involved his emotions and connected to the Star-Lord role, so even for him leaving or not playing this role could be hard on him.
As per the reports, Pratt’s contract with Marvel Studios has ended with the release of Avengers: Endgame, which is the end of the Infinity Saga. So, he might not return to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 4. Pratt has expressed gratitude and desire to continue his role as Star-Lord. There’s less probability of replacing Chris Pratt with any other new actor at Marvel. However, Pratt has gained more popularity and given success to the franchise.
However, Chris Pratt has been starring in upcoming movies, The Electric State, and animated movies like Super Mario Bros and Garfield, all set to release in 2024. It is still being determined through his schedules whether to play his Star-Lord role and be part of the Galaxy franchise. Even, Marvels has the integrity to plan movies year, and they will work around actors’ other schedules.
Overall, Marvel Movies made no proper official announcement to return for Guardians of the Galaxies Vol 4 because it’s been only a few days since the release of Guardians of the Galaxies Vol 3. It is quick to anticipate the upcoming volume’s cast, crew, and plot. Pratt always carried his character with a passion, and his absence as Star-Lord cannot be possible. So Marvel fans be optimistic about his return to the Guardians of Galaxies franchise.
Even Marvel has yet to reveal or confirm the cast of the Galaxy franchise. But we expect there will be a high chance Chris Pratt come back as Star-Lord at different times. Marvel can decide to keep or retire the character or replace Pratt with any other actor. But Pratt as Star-lord has brought immense success to the Galaxy franchise. So, Even if not in the Galaxy.
