Chris Pratt Will Be In Non-‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Marvel Films
Chris Prattmay be shooting down casting rumors left and right, but one thing we know for sure is that he’ll be back for anotherGuardians of the Galaxy. And, it seems, for another several Marvel movies after that — including multiple non-GOT projects. Read the Chris Pratt Marvel future quotes after the jump.Speaking with GQ, Pratt revealed he’s sticking around the Marvel Cinematic Universe for quite some time:
The GQ writer interprets this as meaning Pratt “is committed to at least two sequels, as well as spin-off projects where his character will appear with other Marvel characters.”
Basically, it sounds like the same six-picture deal that most of Marvel’s leads have.Guardians of the GalaxyandGuardians of the Galaxy 2(which is already dated forMay 5, 2017and starts shooting in February) take up two of those slots. If the sequel does well,Guardians of the Galaxy 3will almost certainly claim a third.
Less clear is which films will use up the other three spots on Pratt’s contract. The firstGuardians of the Galaxyoccupied a very different corner of the MCU than the other films have, and had very little overlap withThe Avengers,Avengers: Age of Ultron, and their related films.
But the two-partAvengers: Infinity Warseems more likely to involve Pratt’s Star-Lord. The Power Stone figured prominently into the firstGuardians of the Galaxy, and Thanos will have to get his hands on it eventually if he wants the complete set.
Other possibilities for Star-Lord are 2019’sInhumans, which deals with a race of superhumans created by the Kree (Ronan’s people fromGuardians of the Galaxy), and 2018’sCaptain Marvel, which centers on a character who’s had extensive contact with the Guardians of the Galaxy in the comics.
In the meantime, Pratt has already begun prepping for his next outing as Star-Lord. “I got teary-eyed,” he said of his firstGuardians of the Galaxy 2briefing with directorJames Gunn. “He’s so fucking smart and peculiar.” But there’s still a lot he doesn’t know about it, like the plot. “[Gunn] just knows me too well to tell me too much,” said Pratt.
For now, Pratt seems perfectly happy to keep playing Star-Lord for the foreseeable future. After teasing the idea of retiring early to spend time with his son Jack, Pratt admitted, “I think I would do it and then three months later I would be tired of bird hunting and I would be like ‘…Guardians Ten?'”
