Chris Pratt continues to shape his Marvel legacy as Star-Lord. From Guardians of the Galaxy to the Avengers saga, his journey spans cosmic battles, team dynamics, and fan anticipation, keeping audiences invested in both his future and the Marvel Cinematic Universe multiverse. Now, his dream team-up is making waves among fans.

Revealing his pick for which Marvel character he wants Star-Lord to meet before Avengers: Secret Wars concludes The Multiverse Saga, Pratt highlighted Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool.

"I really, really loved Deadpool. I think Ryan [Reynolds] GOAT-ed himself with that performance. He really nailed it," Pratt shared in a ScreenRant interview, praising Reynolds’ iconic portrayal and Marvel Studios’ access to previously Fox-owned characters.

Star-Lord was last seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, serving as both a farewell to the original cosmic team and James Gunn’s swan song in the MCU. Pratt’s character returned to Earth, leaving Rocket as the new captain.

While discussing his wished-for Star-Lord arc with ScreenRant, Pratt subtly hinted that the character’s cosmic adventures are far from over, leaving fans buzzing about what comes next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While Marvel fans debate his next adventure, Pratt’s packed 2026 schedule suggests his Star-Lord adventures are just one part of a year filled with high-stakes roles.
