After the massive success of the Avengers movies, the billion-dollar franchise is set to return with its fifth installment, Avengers: Doomsday, slated for release in May 2026. While Marvel has kept details tightly under wraps, fans have been eager for any updates, and it seems they almost got one recently.
On the red carpet for Netflix’s The Electric State, Chris Pratt was asked about the prospect of working with the Russo brothers again, as an indirect way of probing whether he’ll reprise his role as Star-Lord in Avengers: Doomsday. Before he could answer, Pratt’s publicist quickly stepped in and ushered him away. The video has since gone viral, leaving fans speculating whether this was an unintentional confirmation of his return and wondering which other actors might be reprising their superhero roles.
Hilarious Fan Reactions
Let's check out some of the most hilarious fan reactions to Chris Pratt’s publicist swiftly shutting down any questions about Avengers: Doomsday.
"She just made it worse by confirming 🤣🤣," a fan pointed out.
In an attempt to keep things under wraps, Chris Pratt's publicist may have accidentally confirmed his appearance in Avengers: Doomsday by not letting him answer. Maybe she should’ve just let Pratt dodge the question with one of his signature silly responses!
"They learnt their lessons from Tom Holland," joked another.
Who knew that "Pulling a Tom" would become a Hollywood catchphrase? Given Tom Holland’s history of spilling movie secrets, it’s only fair that Chris Pratt’s publicist made sure he didn’t follow in those footsteps!

Chris Pratt definitely knows that if he spills anything about Avengers: Doomsday, then Marvel, known for keeping secrets under lock and key, might just decide to prematurely kill off Star-Lord in the upcoming movies!
"Now where is Kanye’s publicist just like this," asked a user.
According to this user, if anyone needs a publicist who shuts them down before they speak, it’s Kanye West. That person would definitely have to stay on high alert, given Kanye’s well-known habit of saying exactly what’s on his mind!
"Anyone who plays a 'Peter' cannot be trusted," pointed another.
Trending
As some of you might know, Chris Pratt’s Guardians of the Galaxy character is named Peter Quill. And guess who else plays Peter in another Marvel movie? Tom Holland! Looks like anyone named Peter should steer clear of interviews!
Chris Pratt definitely dodged a bullet there, if not an entire magazine full of them, thanks to his publicist stepping in. But what do you think? Does this moment confirm that he’ll be reprising his role as Star-Lord in Avengers: Doomsday?
