Chris Pratt is rumored to be leaving Marvel behind and getting on board a new mega-franchise in development.
According to GFR, Chris Pratt is set to star in an adaptation of The Micronauts, a companion toy line to Hasbro’s Transformers. While his specific role is unclear at the moment, it would not be surprising if he was cast as the token human amongst otherworldly beings like Shia LaBeouf, Mark Wahlberg, Hailee Steinfeld, and Anthony Ramos before him.
People who were too old for He-Man, Thundercats, and Transformers, but too young for Thundarr the Barbarian. Right on the cusp of being the right age for Blackstar (the cartoon, not the guitar amplifiers).
Marvel Comics started doing reprints of ROM and Micronauts recently in hardcover, must be some kind of bigger new Hasbro rights deal.. btw I always thought that after people get tired of the MCU their next move would be to make X-Men movies for like 5 years straight

Deadpool 3 is coming out next year, it will be part of the MCU and will include Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
After that it's Fantastic Four in 2025 (potentially starring CIA Jim!), then probably more X-Men. They already had CIA Jim and Patrick Stewart as Mr Fantastic and Professor X cameo in a movie last year.
Yeah I was sure it was the last one based on how it wrapped everything up. But then they had a big "Starlord will return" message at the very end which felt very forced and out of place
And James Gunn is out. What were they planning to do, have him randomly show up in the next Avengers, possibly by himself? What would even be the point?
Seems like a good time for him to leave the franchise.
