Chris Pratt “Would Love” to Make a Fourth ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ Film With James Gunn “If He Wanted to” Amid DC Exit
Chris Pratt says he would welcome a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film if James Gunn wanted to return to the franchise. His comments follow news that Gunn is leaving his role at DC Studios, prompting renewed interest in whether he might work with Marvel again.
Pratt played Star-Lord in all three Guardians films, which Gunn directed, and said working with him was a major draw. The third film, released in 2023, was intended to conclude the franchise. Gunn and Peter Safran had led DC Studios as co-chairs and co-CEOs; Jeremy Latcham has now been named its president and chief creative officer.
In short
- Pratt is keen to reunite with Gunn for another Guardians film.
- Gunn directed all three films in the trilogy.
- The 2023 instalment was intended as the franchise’s finale.
Explained simply
Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel film series about a team of spacefaring characters led by Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord. Chris Pratt has played Quill in all three films, directed by James Gunn, whose work helped shape the series’ tone and characters.
The third film, released in 2023, was presented as the end of this version of the team’s story. Gunn later became a co-head of DC Studios, a rival comic-book film studio, alongside producer Peter Safran; Jeremy Latcham has since been named to lead its creative work. Gunn’s possible return to Marvel matters to fans because of his close creative partnership with Pratt and the series’ established ending.
