No Major Guardians of the Galaxy News on August 30, 2025

Based on available sources, there were no significant news developments specifically about “Guardians of the Galaxy” on August 30, 2025. However, related news emerged the following day that may be of interest to fans of the franchise.

Recent Developments in the Guardians Universe

On August 31, 2025, James Gunn made headlines by definitively ruling out one of the most persistent fan theories about the future of his former Marvel collaborator Chris Pratt. During an appearance on the PelucheEn ElEstuche YouTube channel, the DC Studios co-CEO was directly asked whether Pratt, who portrayed Peter Quill/Star-Lord throughout the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, could potentially suit up as Batman in Gunn’s new DC Universe.

Gunn’s response was unambiguous: “As Batman? No. As something else? Yes”. This statement puts to rest ongoing speculation that had been circulating among fans about Pratt potentially taking on the iconic role of Bruce Wayne in the rebooted DCU. However, Gunn’s comments leave the door wide open for a different collaboration between the director and actor in the DC universe.

Background on Gunn-Pratt Collaboration

James Gunn and Chris Pratt have an established working relationship spanning the entire Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. Gunn directed all three films in the series, with the final installment, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, serving as both the conclusion of the trilogy and Gunn’s farewell to the Marvel Cinematic Universe before his transition to DC Studios as co-CEO.

The third film in the series was both a critical and commercial success, grossing $845.6 million worldwide. It performed particularly well in its second weekend, achieving just a 48% decline from its opening weekend, marking the best second-weekend hold of any sequel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Looking Forward

While no specific Guardians of the Galaxy developments occurred on August 30, 2025, the franchise continues to maintain cultural relevance. Earlier in 2025, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 received television broadcasts, including a scheduled airing on TF1 on May 18, 2025. The film has also been available for streaming on Disney+ since August 2, 2023.

Additionally, there has been ongoing speculation about potential spin-off projects, with Gunn previously teasing the possibility of a Star-Lord movie that would explore the character’s adaptation to life back on Earth. The final post-credits scene of Vol. 3 included the text “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return,” suggesting future possibilities for the character.

As James Gunn continues his work establishing the new DC Universe, fans remain curious about how his previous Marvel relationships might influence future projects, even if Chris Pratt won’t be donning the cape and cowl as Batman.
