Are Marvel planning to reunite the original Guardians of the Galaxy for another performance? Just two years have passed since the final installment in James Gunn’s trilogy, where our initial Guardians – Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldaña), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper), and Groot (Vin Diesel) – parted ways. The leader Peter Quill handed over command to Rocket, returning to Earth; the 2014 Gamora reconnected with the Ravagers; while Rocket and Groot branched off to form a new Guardians squad featuring Kraglin (Sean Gunn), Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), Maria Bakalova’s talking dog Cosmo, Kai Zen’s star child Phyla, and the furry Blurp.
While Drax and Nebula (Karen Gillan) remained on Knowhere to establish a new community for the saved children from the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji), according to Gillan, the cyborg assassin-turned-Guardian and Avenger might reappear in future movies, even beyond 2023’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
the actor is hinting at a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe but refuses to confirm anything yet. The actor’s role in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and Avengers films is also mentioned, emphasizing their past involvement in the Marvel universe.

Karen Gillan reiterated her previous statements to MovieWeb about Nebula’s potential future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She expressed her enjoyment working within the Marvel universe and added, “Regarding the future, I can’t reveal anything. As you know, that’s the way it usually works, but perhaps… one should never say ‘never.’
Although a title card at the end of Vol. 3 promises “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return,” neither Chris Pratt nor any of his fellow Guardians actors have officially been included in the cast for Avengers: Doomsday. However, some concept art featuring Star-Lord has leaked online.
As a movie enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share the exciting news that Marvel Studios has unveiled a long list of familiar faces for their upcoming project. Among these are Robert Downey Jr., stepping into the shoes of Victor von Doom instead of Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor, Tom Hiddleston returning as Loki, Anthony Mackie once again playing Captain America, and Paul Rudd donning the Ant-Man suit.
Joining the cast from ‘Black Panther’ are Letitia Wright, who will be seen as Shuri/Black Panther, and Winston Duke as M’Baku. They will be joining their fellow Wakanda Forever co-stars Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, Mabel Cadena as Namora, and Alex Livinalli as Attuma.
In this setting, Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Danny Ramirez (the Falcon), Channing Tatum (Gambit), Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (Human Torch), and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (the Thing) are all settling into their seats, much like the stars of Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Cast members for Thunderbolts include Florence Pugh (Black Widow), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent), and Lewis Pullman (Sentry). Characters from the Fox-produced X-Men movies, such as Patrick Stewart (Professor Charles Xavier), Ian McKellen (Magneto), James Marsden (Cyclops), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), and Kelsey Grammer (Beast) will reprise their roles.
(*Note: Thunderbolts is a Marvel Comics superhero team, and it’s expected that this film may introduce the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.)
Disney plans to release “Avengers: Doomsday” in theaters on December 18, 2026, with “Avengers: Secret Wars” following suit on December 17, 2027.
