Chris Pratt says he will reprise Peter Quill/Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, although he cannot disclose when. Speaking on The Playlist’s The Bingeworthy podcast with Mike DeAngelo, the actor said work toward bringing the character back had gone beyond conversations.

Pratt described his relationships with Kevin Feige and Lou D’Esposito as strong. He said discussions were continuing about fulfilling the promise of another Star-Lord appearance and that concrete steps had also been taken.

Avengers: Doomsday, the next MCU film, is scheduled to reach theaters in December. Pratt has not been announced as part of its returning cast. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have indicated that additional stars will return, without confirming an appearance by Pratt.

The 47-year-old made his debut as the character in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and subsequently appeared in five other films. An end-credits message in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 promised a future return for Star-Lord.
