Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 marks the end of an era for the original Guardians team, and fans knew to expect emotional goodbyes for the characters. In the movie, Star-Lord makes a major decision to return to Earth and reunite with his grandfather. Chris Pratt, who plays Star-Lord, discussed Peter Quill’s journey and explained why the character made the choice he did.

Finding Himself In Relationships And Affiliations

How Chris Pratt Almost Missed His Chance As Star-Lord In The MCU

According to Pratt, Quill has been on a journey throughout the MCU to find out who he is. He first found himself with the Guardians of the Galaxy, then he thought he could find himself with his father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and he found himself again with Gamora. However, when Gamora is lost, Quill realizes that none of the various people he has found have been the real him.

Learning To Swim

During the movie’s ending, Quill decides to “learn to swim” rather than jump from “lily pad to lily pad.” Pratt explained that this metaphor applies to the affiliations we have with a team or family as well. Quill has been hopping from woman to woman and relationship to relationship, trying to find himself, but ultimately he was lost. With his decision to return to Earth, he aims to take Mantis’ advice and learn how to swim.

What’s Next For Star-Lord?

Despite Quill’s decision to return to Earth, fans can expect to see Pratt in the MCU again. The second post-credit scene reveals that “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return,” but it’s unclear what capacity that will be in. Perhaps he’ll help out with Earth’s heroes from time to time, teaming up with the Avengers, or maybe he’ll remain in touch with his former team and the new Guardians of the Galaxy, led by Rocket. It’s likely that Star-Lord’s influence will be felt on this new team, as Rocket is already using Quill’s signature song to introduce the new Guardians to music.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is now playing in theaters everywhere.
