Actor Chris Pratt said he would “love” to make a fourth “Guardians of the Galaxy” film if director James Gunn returned to the Marvel franchise after leaving DC Studios.
Pratt made the remarks in an interview with MovieZine when asked about a possible fourth installment. “That would be awesome,” he said. “I love working with James (Gunn). He’s the man.”
Pratt said he had not spoken with Gunn since news of the departure emerged. He added that comments on such topics can quickly turn into headlines.
“He directed all three (Guardians) movies, and that’s pretty rare in those types of trilogies to have the same director through all three, so if he wanted to come back and bring it back, man, I would love that,” Pratt said.
Pratt played Star-Lord, also known as Peter Quill, in all three “Guardians of the Galaxy” films for Marvel. The cast also includes Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel and Bradley Cooper. Pom Klementieff joined the cast in the second film.
“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” was released in 2023 and was intended to be the final film in the franchise. The first film premiered in 2014 and the second in 2017, both directed by Gunn.
Before “Vol. 3” was released, Gunn and Peter Safran were announced as co-chairs and co-CEOs of DC Studios. Their first DC Studios film, “Superman,” was released in 2025.
The duo is now set to be replaced by Jeremy Latcham, a Marvel alumnus, who will serve as president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. The change was announced recently.
Gunn and Safran had been presumed safe from removal amid the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Skydance co-CEOs David Ellison and Ynon Kreiz nevertheless opted to bring in Latcham.
Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, while DC Studios sits under Warner Bros., which gives Gunn’s possible return a cross-studio dimension.
