Actor Chris Pratt, who will next be seen in Lego Movie 2, has confirmed that the third installment of the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise will happen.

Pratt assured fans that the Marvel franchise, whose production was put on hold in 2018 after director James Gunn was fired for making insensitive and controversial jokes on Twitter, will definitely hit the screens.

He said: "I promise there'll be a third movie, I don't know exactly what that's going to look like, but I know everyone on board is just eager to give the fans what they want and wrap up the trilogy in a meaningful way.

"We're still circling the city of Jericho, I like to say," added Pratt, who is known for his role of Star-Lord in the franchise.
