Guardians of the Galaxy’s own Star-Lord revealed that he’s bisexual in the pages of Marvel Comics.
Star-Lord is one of Marvel Comics’ most popular superheroes. A member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and even the Avengers from time-to-time, Peter Quill has been tearing up Marvel’s galaxy since his comic book debut back in 1976.
In an unexpected but totally welcome development, Marvel have confirmed that the iconic character is bisexual.
As explained by Entertainment Weekly, an installment titled “I Shall Make You a Star-Lord”, Guardians of the Galaxy No. 9 sees the hero in an unusual place known as Morinus – where he grows close to two humanoid beings – one female, one male – named Aradia and Mors. The comic then touchingly reveals that he has begun a polyamorous relationship with both of them, affectionately telling them that they’re both “his home”.

Is Star-Lord bisexual in the MCU?
Speaking of the MCU, Star-Lord is portrayed by Chris Pratt and has appeared in Guardians of The Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. The character has been romantically linked to fellow Guardian Gamora throughout all of his appearances but fans are now wondering if we’ll see the live-action iteration confirm his bisexuality at some point.
Pratt will reprise the role in both Thor: Love and Thunder and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, as well as the recently-announced Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
