Chris Pratt Lands GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Lead
Chris Pratt Lands GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY Lead

After countless shortlist stories and rumors concerning who would play Star-Lord in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, the search for the lead role is finally over, and fittingly the actor is someone who never appeared on any of the aforementioned lists. Deadline reports that Chris Pratt has been tapped to play Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, a character who was born of a human mother and alien father, and is a master strategist and combat expert who wears an ability-enhancing suit and pilots a psychically-linked ship. As Guardians features a cast of strange and cosmic characters, Quill was an important role to fill because he will likely act as the audience’s introduction to the vast, unfamiliar Guardians world. Hit the jump for more.

There were plenty of actors rumored for the role that made a lot of sense (John Krasinski, Zachary Levi, etc.), and Deadline notes that Marvel made test deals with Joel Edgerton, Jack Huston, Lee Pace, and Eddie Redmayne, but Chris Pratt actually seems like a perfect fit. His comic timing is excellent as evidenced by his work on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, and he’s shown his talent on the dramatic side with Moneyball and 2012’s Zero Dark Thirty, for which he also proved that he can beef up for a role if need-be.

Looking back on the previous shortlists and taking Pratt into consideration, it’s clear that writer/director James Gunn is planning on injecting a good amount of humor into Guardians of the Galaxy. A rumor surfaced recently that Marvel was looking at possibly tapping Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler to do voice work in the film (one of the guardians is a talking raccoon), so I’m interested to see the tone that Gunn settles on for the finished film.

With the role of Star-Lord secure, Gunn and Marvel now look to filling out the rest of the cast, which includes the powerful Drax the Destroyer, a giant tree named Groot, the aforementioned Rocket Raccoon, and the female lead Gamora. The story is also rumored to involve the villain Thanos. Expect to hear more soon as production gears up to begin later this year. Guardians of the Galaxy will be released in 3D on August 1, 2014.

Really? He had box office cred when he had fifth billing in a Rodney Dangerfield movie? Or maybe it was the sidekick role in Tuff Turf that really had Hollywood buzzing.

Within a couple of years he had starring roles in Less Than Zero, Chances Are, Air America. He was 19 for Tuff Turf and 19-20 for Back to School, barely old enough to be IN SCHOOL.

What i read about Downey was his wife worked for bigwig action producer Joel Silver and got him into "mainstream" movie roles again after he cleaned up.

Before he was clean, he mainly worked in offbeat roles. no mainstream stuff. He was very rarely a lead in a big budget mainstream flick. Now, hes basically the opposite of that. Especially once Ironman hit.

One of my favorite flicks of his is a tiny indie he did called Two Girls and a Guy. Another favorite was the first decent sized movie he did after cleaning up Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was really good.

I was watching Weird Science the other day and had no clue he was in that.

KKBB, was awesome.

That was actually a Joel Silver produced movie. And yes, it was basically his comeback movie , even though it flopped. But it got him back in the game.

Box Office flop or not it's a superb movie, and even though it got solid reviews they didn't do anything to promote the movie and basically released it on what was then annually a junk opening weekend slot.

Yeah, I'd characterize it as a quiet cult hit. Very few detractors, just a lot of people who don't know anything about it.

Kind of a movie version of Arrested Development or Firefly.

Good call. I'd venture to guess it's made more since home release than it ever did at the cinema.

I thought the movie was pretty good myself and I'm not into Sci-Fy type shit. I can say for those who want to see it, you will not be disappointed.

Just saw it today. The kids loved it but I didn't think it was the best Marvel movie like others have said. It was good but just not great for me.

You should go rewatch it then.


I am guessing you are just more partial to the other characters..
