Chris Pratt is well known for playing Peter Quill aka Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor has appeared in the two Guardians of the Galaxy flicks and two Avengers movies. However, in a recent interview, Chris hints that his role may be coming to an end soon even though he may not want it.
Chris is slated to appear as Star-Lord in at least two upcoming movies. He and the rest of the Guardians will feature in the upcoming MCU movie Thor: Love and Thunder, which is releasing on July 7. Following this, he will be seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is scheduled to hit theatres in May 2023. However, apart from this, Star Lord’s Marvel future is uncertain. In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Chris said that he ‘doesn’t actually know what’s gonna come next.’
The actor added, “You asked whether or not I’m cognizant, intentionally turning a page. The page is turning. Whether I want to or not. Because the franchises are over.” The actor gave an example of American Football player Russell Wilson, who recently left Chris’ favourite team and said moments of something ending are hitting him harder than usual. Pratt said, “You want to be conscious and put a lot of effort into experiencing the moment.”

Guardians of the Galaxy star went on to say, “Like, this is going away. I want to take it in. You can’t take it in any harder than just being present to it. So I’m being present. The other day, Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback, got traded to Denver. He’s been with Seattle for about ten years. Which has been about the duration of this (his Guardians stint). I was like, ‘Wait, hold on, what happened?'”
While sharing how he felt when Russel was retired, Pratt said, “The emotion around the last ten years has sort of come to an end. I was in the most embarrassing way, like, ‘My quarterback leaves, so I’m gonna cry.’ It’s hitting me in moments like that.” Previously, Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the MCU, had also hinted that Love and Thunder may be his final film.
