In a recent interview with The Playlist, Chris Pratt addressed his future as Star-Lord in the MCU after years of absence from the franchise.
He confirmed that he still has a relationship with Marvel Studios, and they have concrete plans for how they are bringing back Star-Lord in the future of the MCU. However, as expected, he didn't specify any details.
"I have a great relationship with Kevin [Feige] and Lou [D’Esposito], and there have been both ongoing conversations about how we make good on that promise and also hard action taken to make sure that we make good on that promise," the actor said.
"So yeah, you’ll see Star-Lord again, which is very exciting, but I’m not at liberty to say when that’s going to be, but he’s not going anywhere."

For now, let's wait for news and updates regarding Star-Lord's future in the MCU, but it is exciting that we have a confirmation from Pratt himself that we will be seeing more of him soon.
