Chris Pratt says Marvel bosses Kevin Feige and Lou D'Esposito haven't just talked about bringing back Peter Quill, they've taken "hard action" to make it happen. "You'll see Star-Lord again," he told The Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast, though he's "not at liberty to say when". Marvel declined to comment, and Pratt isn't on the announced cast for Avengers: Doomsday, out 18 December.
Where should Star-Lord turn up: Doomsday, Secret Wars or his own film?
