Chris Pratt to return as Star-Lord for Thor: Love And Thunder 

So news broke last night that Chris Pratt was soon heading to Australia to film a role for the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder as Star-Lord and this is an interesting piece of news and this is what I think it could mean not only for this film but the future for the character. 

Will only be a small role

Let's face it Thor: Love & Thunder has so much going on in it, so many characters and so many stories that it has to balance and I can't see Pratt doing too much here. At the end of Avengers: Endgame we saw Thor leaving Earth with the Guardians Of The Galaxy which did excite the fan base, but I think it will be short lived. I think we will see them together at the beginning of the film, until Thor has to leave to go on his own journey here. 

The rest of the Guardians will be here

I mean this seems pretty obvious, but with Star-Lord here I think it is pretty clear that the rest of the Guardians will be here in a small capacity, even though it might be brief it will be great once again see Thor's chemistry with the group and the fun that they can have. 

Will send The Guardians on the hunt for Gamora

Again at the end of Endgame we saw Thor & The Guardians going after the new version of Gamora and I think the film will set that up. Even though Thor won't be around I think the beginning of the film will see the rest of the Guardians get a lead on Gamora and lead them onto their journey for the third film. 

Overall

Overall, this news isn't really that shocking, but it is nice to know that The Guardians Of The Galaxy will be in this film even if it is brief and I hope it is a memorable appearance similar to Doctor Strange in Thor: Ragnarok.
