With Gunn appearing to take on a larger role in building the Marvel Cosmic Universe, keeping Star-Lord around for that makes a lot of sense.
This also just goes to show not only how much fun Pratt is having in the role, but also his appreciation for this opportunity.
Just recently, he told us about his hopes for Star-Lord as he moves into Phase 4 and beyond.
While it is unclear if Pratt’s hopes are within Marvel Studios’ plans, if he continues to express a desire to stick around, it would be awfully surprising to see Marvel send him packing.
