Chris Pratt Hopes to Reunite With James Gunn for More Guardians of the Galaxy Movies

Actor Chris Pratt says he would love to work with director James Gunn again on a fourth Guardians of the Galaxy film. This comes after Gunn and his co-chief Peter Safran lost their jobs following a company merger on November 9 led by David Ellison and Skydance. Jeremy Latcham, a former Marvel Studios worker, has now taken over as the new president and chief creative officer of DC Studios. ## Executive Changes This leadership shuffle brings more trouble for DC Studios as it tries to catch up with Disney and its Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the change could clear the way for Gunn to return to Marvel, where he previously directed the first three Guardians movies. Pratt told Moviezine that working with Gunn again would be awesome because he loves the director and thinks it is rare for one person to direct three films in a series like that. Pratt has played Star-Lord across six different movies so far, starting with the first film in 2014 and most recently appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in 2023. ## Context Movie franchises often bring back popular directors and cast members when leadership changes happen at major film studios. James Gunn finished his work on the Marvel trilogy before moving over to lead DC Studios on a slate of comic book adaptations. Film studios frequently adjust their executive teams and creative lineups when business mergers take place in the entertainment industry.
