Marvel’s door is always open for James Gunn, who directed the Guardians of the Galaxy movies before moving to the position of co-head of DC Studios. But unfortunately, this week, Skydance removed Gunn and Peter Safran as co-heads of DC Studios.
In a recent interview with MovieZine.se, Chris Pratt, who appeared to promote his new movie Way of the Warrior Kid, discussed the possibility of making Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 4 with Gunn. Pratt said working with Gunn again would be “awesome.”
He said he loves working with Gunn and would happily return if Gunn wanted to make another movie.
Pratt said, “That would be awesome. I love working with James [Gunn]. He’s the man. I haven’t had the chance to speak with him since that news came out… it’s always tough because anytime something like this comes up it could always become a headline.”
He added, “All I’ll say is I love James. He directed all three movies, and that’s pretty rare… so if he wanted to come back and bring it back, I would love that.”
THR reports that box office results played a part in Skydance’s decision to replace Gunn and Safran at DC Studios. Supergirl reportedly failed at the box office, while Superman earned $618 million but did not have the pop culture impact Skydance wanted.
Before his exit, Gunn was already writing a third Superman movie. He planned to make three films and release a new one every two years. The story could later lead to a Justice League movie. It is not yet known if Gunn will get to complete his plan.
Former Marvel Studios executive Jeremy Latcham will take over from Gunn and Safran on December 1, 2026.
Recently, on Threads, Gunn denied rumors that Skydance is making major changes to Man of Tomorrow. He wrote, “There are a lot of untrue rumors going around, but one of them is that Skydance has seen Man of Tomorrow and that all sorts of sweeping changes are being made. No one from Skydance has even seen the movie. The only people who have seen it are Peter Safran and a very small, trusted group of friends and family. So any stories around this narrative are false.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, directed by Gunn and starring Pratt as Star-Lord, has grossed over $2.48 billion worldwide across three movies. The first film, Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), earned $773.3 million, followed by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) with $869.1 million and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) with $845.6 million worldwide.
