After watching Peter Quill return to Earth at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, audiences were met with post-credit text that simply read, “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.”
What About ‘Doomsday’?
With the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise seemingly at an end, the prevailing assumption has been that Star-Lord would next appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

When the film’s cast was revealed, however, Pratt’s name was nowhere to be found.
Pratt’s Update
During a recent interview with ScreenTime, Pratt was asked which role he would most like to return to, and he quickly brought up Peter Quill.

“We made a promise with Guardians of the Galaxy that Star-Lord would return,” he said. “I think I would really love to make good on that promise.”
While it does not appear that Pratt will be appearing in Avengers: Doomsday, it’s reassuring to hear that he still wants to play Star-Lord again.
What Has Peter Quill Been Doing?
During his conversation with ScreenTime, Pratt also shared what he believes the intergalactic hero has been up to since returning to Earth.

“[He’s] probably denying the fact that he was responsible for the death of Iron Man while simultaneously trying to convince people that he was a superhero at some point,” he mused.
“Probably catching up on the music from ‘70s pop all the way until when he came back. There’s a lot of music to catch up on.”
