There is still time, as the cast of the film is expected to include dozens of actors from all over Marvel’s live-action history.Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3ended with the promise, “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.” As such, it would make sense for Chris Pratt’s Peter Quill to be announced for theupcoming MCU film, which could be part of a list of surprises Marvel has chosen to keep.
What The Guardians Of The Galaxy Missing From Avengers: Doomsday Means
The MCU Movie Includes Many Exciting Teams
Avengers: Doomsday’s full cast listis shaping up to be something the MCU might never have seen before.The movie is going to include a few of the biggest Marvel teams in the comics, which could explain why the Guardians of the Galaxy are absent so far. First, there is obviously the focus on the new Avengers team. Characters like Sam Wilson’s Captain America, Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi, and Letitia Wright’s Black Panther will make up Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Then, there are two MCU teams that will debut in the franchise’s upcoming 2025 movies.

The Fantastic Four and members of the Thunderbolts are inAvengers: Doomsday, which happens to spoil who survives from the latter. Then there is the fact thatthe multiverse film is pulling heavily from Fox’s X-Men franchise. Beast’s universe fromThe Marvelsshould reappear, with Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen’s Magneto, and James Marsden’s Cyclops among the X-Men of the next Avengers movie. Since the Guardians of the Galaxy disbanded, Marvel might want to give a chance for fans to connect with the new team in a solo project, rather than the packedAvengers: Doomsday.
Our Take On The Guardians Of The Galaxy Missing From Avengers: Doomsday
While I would love to see the Guardians of the Galaxy interact with the rich characters who will appear in the next Avengers movie, I’m okay if they are not in it. There are already going to be plenty of exciting Marvel teams to keep things interesting. Besides,they could always show up inAvengers: Secret Wars, and I think a solo project that develops the new team before then could make their impact even more effective. That said, I still hold out hope that Star-Lord will appear inAvengers: Doomsday, joining the new Avengers team.
