Chris Pratt Cryptically Addresses Star-Lord's Future in 'Avengers'
By this point, Chris Pratt knows exactly how to play the Marvel game when it comes to side-stepping the topic of his role in upcoming films. Still, when Pratt’s name wasn’t listed on one of the chairs for the initial cast list of Avengers: Doomsday, many fans wanted answers about Star-Lord's outlook for the film.
Pratt finally addressed the million-dollar question this week — sort of.
When asked by Collider about his chair not being shown for the Doomsday live stream, Pratt played coy. The Guardians of the Galaxy actor joked, "I think [my chair] was like far off ... they must have cut away from it ... it was there, I'm sure it was there."
He was then asked if Star-Lord would be seen in Avengers: Secret Wars, to which Pratt responded with at least a semi-answer, even if it was a cryptic one.
"I can't say for fans of mine where they'll see Star-Lord again, but I can tell them — we made a promise at the end of volume three that the legendary Star-Lord will return, and he will return," Pratt said of his Guardians of the Galaxy character.
While that leaves the door open for a possible return to the Avengers in either Doomsday or Secret Wars, it could also signal another Guardians film at some point. It's anyone's guess, and it sounds like fans will have to wait before getting clarity on Pratt's potential involvement in either upcoming Avengers film.
