Chris Pratt’s last stint as Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 left us with a lingering promise: “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.” Fast forward three years, and fans are still eagerly awaiting any materialization of that pledge. While neither Pratt nor other beloved Guardians characters are expected to make a cameo in this year’s Avengers: Doomsday, speculation about a Secret Wars appearance is heatin’ up the rumor mill.

Amidst the anticipation, Pratt is hitting the promotional trail for the second season of Amazon Prime Video’s The Terminal List. During an interview on The Bingeworthy podcast, he shared some intriguing news, hinting that serious steps are already in motion for Star-Lord’s grand return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Pratt confirmed ongoing conversations and substantial actions with Marvel Studios’ top executives, indicating that plans for Star-Lord’s revival are more than just wishful thinking.

Fans will recall that we last saw Star-Lord leaving the Guardians to reconnect with his estranged grandfather in Missouri. While Pratt remains tight-lipped on specific details, the excitement is palpable. In fact, Pratt has previously hinted at pitching what he described as a “fantastic” personal vision for Star-Lord’s return to Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios’ head honcho. Buzz among fans includes theories of a Logan-esque standalone project, exploring Star-Lord’s inner turmoil post-Gamora breakup and his guilt over Thanos’ victory.

For fans holding their breath for more Star-Lord, rest assured: he’s not going anywhere. With Pratt’s enthusiasm and Marvel’s track record, it’s only a matter of time before Peter Quill blasts back onto the big screen, guns blazing and mixtape in tow.
