Avengers 4: Every Character Confirmed So Far
8. Star-Lord
Confirmed By: Zoe Saldana
It makes sense that we'd get to see all of the Guardians Of The Galaxy in both Avengers movies, because they're neither going to be killed off permanently (since they have their own sequel coming) or just quietly pushed aside with Thanos' conquest in full flow. And now we have confirmation of sorts that they're involved.
In an interview with the BBC, Zoe Saldana effectively outed all of the Guardians as involved, during the marketing campaign for Guardians Vol 2:
"We're in the middle of it [Avengers: Infinity War]. I think the Guardians just shot their part when it comes to Infinity War, the first part, and we all have to go back for Gauntlet later this year."
Obviously, the big news at the time was her supposedly outing the title (though that proved incorrect), but her saying "we all have to go back" is big news too.
So that means Chris Pratt is definitely back as Star-Lord - as James Gunn also later confirmed.
