I'm curious to see how GotG2 will have him evolved if at all.

MCU's Starlord scripting was derivative of Han Solo (one with 2014 sensibilities and colloquialisms). Why? Obviously, because all the kiddies (young and old) love Han Solo and the character makes for a winning rubric to follow when crafting a space epic. *Yawn*...I'm not a Han solo guy (gasp), but I enjoyed Pratt in GotG.

Initially, comic Starlord was not as personable as his movie incarnation. He definitely was a smart-ass and had a sense of humor. However, his delivery was much more dead-pan, cryptic, and callous (almost cruel); not a likeable guy from the perspective of most personality types. In the Samaritan story, Giffen shares that Peter is still transitioning from having all of his cybernetic parts removed after imprisonment in the Kyln and the guilt/grief of being responsible for the loss of countless lives. Giffen, for the most part, carries this Quill-personality over into Annihilation. Starlord softens into a more charming, and, as you alluded to, altruistic persona as time wore on and his character developed under DnA.

We will likely see a similar transformation with Pratt's onscreen performance. In GotG 2, Starlord will likely become more mature/dedicated and demonstrate less of the puerile behavior that made him popular to audiences in GotG. They don't need him for laughs. Show-stealer Bradley Cooper/Rocket can handle that along with straight-man Vin Diesel/Groot...Bautista, was also surprisingly funny, but I'd rather see them tone that down too...

Happy belated by-the-way!!lol
