Star-Lord is going to bring his awesome mix to Marvel's The Avengers: Infinity War.

Captain America: Civil War filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo confirmed with Birth Movies Death that Chris Pratt's Star-Lord will pop up in the next Avengers movie, which they are also directing.

However, the directors didn't state whether the Guardians of the Galaxy character would show up in the first or second installment (or possibly both) of the two-part sequel.

Before that, though, Star-Lord will appear next in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, which opens May 5, 2017.

The two-part Infinity War will hit the silver screen in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Makes it seem like only he is showing up, which would be lame. He's my least favorite of that team, honestly. I hope I'm just over thinking it.

[Allio]

he will probably show up for the first, the rest of the team in the second.

Having only Star-Lord would be insane. No way is that happening. You gotta have Drax and Gamora for their storylines and close ties to Thanos...

And no way in hell is Marvel leaving out their two biggest stars, ROCKET RACOON AND I AM GROOT.

Weird that it's only him. Maybe they'll keep the appearance of the rest of the team a surprise?

It might have been the way the question was asked.

Instead of asking if the Guardians of the Galaxy in full would appear, the interviewer might have only asked if Star-Lord would appear, since he's of course the main character in that series.

The article I read had the reporter ask both Russos who they were eager to play with in Infinity War. One said Thor the other said Star Lord. Unless there is another interview I didn't see then I think this is much ado about nothing regarding the rest of the Guardians appearing.

Avengers: Infinity War Won’t Have Sixty-Seven Characters

Avengers: Infinity War writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely spoke with HuffPost about their work on the two-part film event and more in a new interview. Some highlights are below:

Markus On reports that Infinity War will feature sixty-seven characters: “Well, I mean that number is literally — that number comes from the fact that that’s everyone who’s already been introduced. If you line up all the character’s who are available to use from the prior Marvel movies, it racks up to about 60 something characters, let alone the new ones you could bring in.”

McFeely on the character count: “Right. We had our office filled with cards of everybody who was alive and available, and the brothers came in and went, ‘Whoa.’ So that doesn’t mean that everyone is, you know, there’s not going to be 67 lead parts.”

McFeely on what they’re most looking forward to for the film: “[Thanos]. It’s easy. Really giving him good scenes. You know, he’s never been the villain in any of the movies. He’s never been the main character in that way, so giving lots of good screen time to Thanos is paramount and pretty fun.”

Markus on the character: “There’s an aspect of, you know, people know what’s coming, so our challenge is how best are we going to handle this somewhat known quantity. But also he’s barely been touched on. He’s at about 20 seconds of screen time. He hasn’t had an amazing scene. I think it’s an advantage ultimately, right? Because people are anticipating this guy coming in and really delivering the goods. So, I think they’re eager, and we just have to deliver it. We don’t have to convince them that he’s gonna be interesting. We just have to execute what has been teased.”
