That&#8217;s evident from the now-confirmed return of\u00a0Chris Evans&#8217; Steve Rogers, not to mention rumours surrounding characters like Deadpool, Wolverine, and Spider-Man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3\u00a0ended with Peter Quill returning to Earth. He reunited with his grandfather, and a post-credits scene\u00a0wrapped up\u00a0with a title card promising us that the Legendary Star-Lord would return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for the Guardians themselves, the team is now comprised of\u00a0Groot, Kraglin, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, Phyla, and Blurp. What the future holds in store for them isn&#8217;t clear, but with Star-Lord back on Earth, fans have been eagerly awaiting his return.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Well, we may have an update today from insider\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JamesMackwl\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">James\u00a0Mack<\/a>. He claims that the fan-favourite hero will appear in both VisionQuest and Avengers: Doomsday, suggesting there are big plans in place for the now-Earthbound superhero.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, concept art from Avengers: Doomsday leaked online depicting Star-Lord and the White Vision as roommates. In hindsight, it appears to have been from VisionQuest (other pieces showcased Jocasta&#8217;s robotic design). It&#8217;s also worth noting that another piece showed\u00a0Peter alongside Wong and the Young Avengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It seems Star-Lord and Vision somehow end up living together in VisionQuest, before Peter meets Wiccan and Speed, and ultimately finds himself fighting alongside them and the rest of the future Champions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I can&#8217;t say, for fans of mine, where they&#8217;ll see Star-Lord again, but I can tell them we made a promise at the end of [Guardians of the Galaxy] Vol. 3 that the legendary Star-Lord will return, and he will return,&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0Chris Pratt previously said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The actor later shared his take\u00a0on not getting a chair by saying,\u00a0<strong>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know! I think it was, like, far off&#8230;\u00a0They must have cut away from it. I don&#8217;t know what happened. I don&#8217;t know. It was there. I&#8217;m sure it was there.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d previously heard that Marvel Studios was considering a movie or TV series titled\u00a0The Legendary Star-Lord. That&#8217;s seemingly been put on hold, but there&#8217;s clearly plenty more to come from this character in 2026 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>The Russo Brothers direct\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0from a screenplay by Stephen McFeely, with whom they previously collaborated on the\u00a0Avengers\u00a0and\u00a0Captain America\u00a0franchises.\u00a0Loki\u00a0and\u00a0Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness&#8217;s Michael Waldron is also working on the script.<\/p>\n<p>Avengers: Doomsday\u00a0is set to be released on December 18, with\u00a0Avengers: Secret Wars\u00a0scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2027. As for VisionQuest, Paul Bettany leads the series that&#8217;s run by showrunner\u00a0Terry Matalas. It debuts on Disney+ later this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It&#8217;s become clear in recent months that the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal last March featured\u00a0only most of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":675721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[3983,53049,77,3943,128558,16,15,205415],"class_list":{"0":"post-675720","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-avengers-doomsday","9":"tag-chris-pratt","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-star-lord","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-visionquest"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115843325250942224","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=675720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/675720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/675721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=675720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=675720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=675720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
