Chris Pratt Says He ‘Would Love’ James Gunn to Direct a Fourth ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Film After DC Exit
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.
In short
- Pratt would like Gunn to direct a fourth Guardians film.
- Gunn recently left his role at DC Studios.
- No fourth film has been announced.
Explained simply
The Guardians of the Galaxy are a group of space-faring characters in Marvel films, led by Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord. Chris Pratt has played Quill across several films, while James Gunn wrote and directed all three Guardians films released so far.
Gunn later became a senior figure at DC Studios, a separate company behind characters such as Superman and Batman, alongside Peter Safran. After they left their posts, Jeremy Latcham, who has worked on Marvel films, was named to lead DC Studios’ creative work. No fourth Guardians film or return by Gunn has been announced.
