Chris Pratt has confirmed that Marvel Studios is actively developing a return for Star-Lord to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The character, last seen in 2023, was promised a comeback in a post-credits scene, and Pratt stated that discussions about his future have been ongoing.

In an interview with The Playlist, Pratt noted that Marvel executives Kevin Feige and Lou D'Esposito have been involved in conversations about how to fulfill that promise. He emphasized that while a return is confirmed, the timing remains undisclosed. "You'll see Star-Lord again," he said, "but I can't specify when."

Pratt's involvement in upcoming MCU projects, including Avengers: Doomsday, has not been officially announced. Although the film features a large ensemble cast, his name has not appeared in official announcements or credible rumors. He may appear in a future project such as Avengers: Secret Wars, but no details have been confirmed.

Director James Gunn, who previously led the Guardians of the Galaxy films, has indicated he has no plans to return to that franchise as he focuses on his role at DC Studios. Despite this, several characters from his earlier work, including Star-Lord, remain part of the MCU's broader narrative. Potential avenues for his return include a new film, a limited series, or a team-based project under a different creative direction.

While specifics are limited, Marvel's commitment to honoring its narrative promises suggests that Star-Lord's story will continue within the evolving MCU framework.
