Although James Gunn‘s journey with the Man of Steel has come to a close, Chris Pratt hopes they can take another adventure with Star-Lord soon.
The Guardians of the Galaxy star recently confessed he “would love” to make a fourth movie in the MCU franchise with Gunn, following his and Peter Safran’s departure from DC Studios amid David Ellison’s Skydance regime change.
“That would be awesome. I love working with James,” he told MovieZine. “He’s the man. I haven’t had the chance to speak with him since that news came out. But it’s interesting because anytime something like this comes up and you say it, it could always become a headline.”
Pratt added, “All I’ll say is, I love James. He directed all three, 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 just love that.”

Earlier this week, Deadline reported that Gunn and Safran were out as co-CEOs and Chairmen of DC Studios after four years, but will continue to produce various DC projects. Meanwhile, Marvel’s former SVP of production and development, Jeremy Latcham, has been named DC’s new president and chief creative officer under Skydance’s takeover.
Before stepping into his position as co-head of WBD’s newly formed DC Studios with Peter Safran in 2022, Gunn directed Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023), as well as 2022’s The Guardian of the Galaxy Holiday Special, for Disney’s Marvel Studios.
