In an interview with MTV News, Pratt says he was as in the dark as fans when it came to the title of the fourth Avengers movie.
“No, no,” Pratt said. “In fact, someone was like, ‘What do you think of the title ‘Avengers: Endgame?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know that that’s really the title and I’m not gonna say anything about it, because what if it’s not? And then they’re gonna be like ‘Chris spoiled it.’ No, I didn’t know the title.”
“I could tell you so much,” Pratt said. “I am a vault of information that would break the internet. But all I really should say is it’s coming out this year and everyone in the world is going to see it…and everything it promises in the previous movie, it delivers on and so much more.”
Elsewhere, Pratt said he’s not worried about any repercussions from Star-Lord’s questionable behavior in Avengers: Infinity War.
“Oh no, I’m not nervous at all about Endgame coming out,” Pratt said. “I think it’s totally true, and I personally feel the same as everyone else about Star-Lord. But I know things, ok? And I feel like audiences are gonna be blown away when this next film comes out.”
Pratt’s LEGO Movie co-star Elizabeth Banks wondered if there may be forgiveness in Star-Lord’s future.
“I don’t even know,” Pratt said. “Even if it’s not, it was worth it, because this is an experience for fans that truly never will be matched again in the history of cinema.”
Many fans blame Thanos’ victory in Infinity War on Peter Quill’s emotional meltdown on the planet Titan. Infinity War directors Joe and Anthony Russo confirmed that Quill losing his cool was a crucial moment, ruining a solid plan to stop Thanos.
That was the turning point of that scene,” Joe Russo said during a post-screening Q&A. “Again, these are flawed characters that make emotional choices, human choices. Had Quill not done that, the movie might have ended right there.”
“That moment is very emotionally truthful, and I think that’s why we bought it in the moment and that’s why we loved it as a storytelling point because it made him so vulnerable,” Anthony Russo added
Still, some fans believe that Star-Lord’s actions were for the better.
