## Summary

Chris Pratt says he would welcome a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film directed by James Gunn, following Gunn’s departure from DC Studios. Pratt’s comments suggest a possible route back to Marvel for Gunn, who directed all three existing Guardians films, though no new film or reunion has been announced.

Gunn and co-chief Peter Safran left their DC roles on 9 November after David Ellison’s Skydance merger, and Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham was named DC Studios’ new president and chief creative officer. Pratt has played Star-Lord in six films, most recently Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2023, which indicated in its end credits that the character would return; Pratt said in October that the studio had taken “hard action” to bring him back.
