Chris Pratt hopes James Gunn will make another Guardians of the Galaxy film after stepping down at DC Studios

Chris Pratt hopes James Gunn will make another Guardians of the Galaxy film after stepping down at DC Studios.

It was revealed earlier this week that the filmmaker and Peter Safran are stepping down from their roles as co-chairs and CEOs of DC Studios after four years, with Marvel veteran Jeremy Latcham set to become president and chief creative officer, and while the 47-year-old actor hasn't spoken to the director since the news broke, he admitted he'd love the chance to play Peter Quill/Star-Lord once again if Gunn now has the time to return to the franchise.

Speaking to MovieZine, he said of the idea of a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy movie: “That would be awesome. I love working with James.

"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.

“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.”
