Chris Pratt Wants Star-Lord to Team Up with Deadpool

Chris Pratt has named Deadpool as the character he’d most like to see Peter “Star-Lord” Quill paired with as the MCU moves into a new era. He praised Ryan Reynolds, saying, "I really, really loved Deadpool. I think Ryan [Reynolds] goated himself with that performance.

He really nailed it." Pratt also referred to Fox by name and added he’d just "love to be there for the process" of seeing Deadpool brought to life. Star-Lord doesn’t typically break the fourth wall, but both characters rely heavily on pop-culture references. Deadpool’s constant topical jokes make his films feel like snapshots of their release years, while Star-Lord repeatedly draws on the music and movies of his youth because they make him feel safe and nostalgic.

That contrast—Star-Lord’s nostalgic throwbacks against Deadpool’s up-to-the-minute quips—could be rich ground for comedy. The idea of Deadpool tossing out Jurassic Park quips while Star-Lord looks on, baffled, was highlighted as a particularly entertaining possibility.
