Just how many films do the stars of the Avengers 4, but the contracts for the Guardians of the Galaxy cast have become a subject of contention over the last week
Drax actor Marvel intends to stick with Gunn's script, so that particular crisis has hopefully been averted. Still, Bautista's threat does raise a simple question: Just how long do the Guardians stars have left on their contracts?

The Original Guardians Don't Have Long Left
Back in 2015, after filming the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, franchise star Chris Pratt told the end of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy."
But there are two complications. The first is that contracts change. Chris Pratt has frequently said the other cast all signed an open letter ing him as well. It's possible at least some of the cast are no longer quite so enthusiastic about working with Marvel.

The second complication is Pom Klementieff, who ed the franchise in last year's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and has given no indication of how many films she's signed up for. However, she was one of a group of actresses who approached Marvel boss Kevin Feige pitching an all-female Marvel team-up movie. That strongly suggests she believes her character could have a future in the MCU. It's unknown whether or not that would involve an extension to Klementieff's contract, of course.
There's a lot we don't know about the Guardians contracts. What does seem certain, though, is that Marvel envisioned the stars of the first film bowing out after five films, meaning their original contracts will be up after Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. There's currently no evidence that they've been extended.
