Pratt did whatever he could to get into the head of his Star-Lord character in Guardians of the Galaxy. This meant working out rigorously for the role so he could get himself into superhero shape. But this also meant listening to Star-Lord’s music nonstop. When audiences are first introduced to Pratt’s Peter Quill in the first movie, the character is seen dancing around and listening to music. The music is a mix of songs Quill’s mother made for him back when he was still living on Earth.

Chris Pratt is presently a household name with his experience in renowned franchises like Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World. The role of Peter Quill was a turning point in his career. The MCU character needed him to go through an intense workout and diet routine which was key in elevating him to international stardom.

Before associating his name with the big franchises and animation flicks, Chris Pratt was known for playing Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation. Pratt made an insane physical transformation to change himself from an adorable overweight to a charming MCU superhero. Interestingly, the actor’s ex-wife, Anna Faris reacted very weirdly to his transformation.

Starring Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson, sci-fi thriller Mercy is taking shape, with Kali Reis and Rafi Gavron among the actors joining its cast.
For the past few months, Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov has quietly assembled what could end up being one of the starriest sci-fi films of 2025. In January, Amazon MGM bought up the global theatrical rights for Mercy – which is unsurprising, given the package: it has Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson attached as its stars, and Hollywood veteran Charles Roven as its producer.
In the weeks since, more and more names have been added, including Annabelle Wallis (who starred in the gleefully twisted Malignant) and Kali Reis, who made a strong impression in the hit series True Detective: Night County. Most recently, Deadline reports that four more actors have been added to the roster: Rafi Garon (A Star Is Born), Chris Sullivan (This Is Us), Kenneth Choi (9-...

You might say Chris Pratt has been preparing for his next role for months.
On Sunday, Pratt debuts as “Mr. P,” the ubiquitous and mustachioed mascot who has long appeared on behalf of Pringles, the potato-chips-in-a-can that are made by Kellanova. The key? A thick mustache the actor says he grew during the recent Hollywood work stoppage that got him noticed by the executives behind Pringles.
“I grew it out and shaved down the sides, and it curled up,” Pratt tells Variety in an interview. His spouse, Katharine Schwarzenegger, told him the mustache just might have legs. “That’s actually a good look for a character. Have you ever played a character with that type of mustache?” he says she asked him. “I kept it. I must have posted something on social media,” he says, which is how a broader set of observers noticed the look. Pringles soon came calling.

In a deal made last week, Amazon MGM Studios has landed Mercy, a package with Chris Pratt attached to star, according to an insider with knowledge. Timur Bekmambetov (“Wanted”) will direct the sci-fi thriller from a script penned by Marco van Belle (“Arthur & Merlin”).
This project comes to Amazon MGM Studios from Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe Award-winning producer Charles Roven (“American Hustle”), who received a second Academy Award nomination for Best Picture most recently on “Oppenheimer.” Roven will produce Mercy with Atlas Entertainment SVP Robert Amidon as part of the producing team alongside Bekmambetov’s Bezelevs and film producer Majd Nassif.
The film is targeting a spring start-of-production. Set in the near future when capital crime has increased, “Mercy” follows a detective (Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.

Deadline reports that Chris Pratt is set to star in Mercy, a sci-fi movie package acquired by Amazon MGM Studios which will be directed by Timur Bekmambetov.
Pratt has worked with Amazon on several projects, including The Tomorrow War and The Terminal List, but Mercy will actually serve as a reunion between himself and Bekmambetov. You may have forgotten, as I did, that Pratt made an appearance in Wanted all the way back in 2008 where he found himself getting smashed in the face with a keyboard wielded by James McAvoy.
So, what’s Mercy all about? The movie is “set in the near future when capital crime has increased” and follows “a detective (Pratt] who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence.” The script has been penned by Marco Van Belle (Arthur & Merlin) and produced by Charles Roven (Oppenheimer), with production expected to kick off this spring.

Exclusive: Amazon MGM Studios has just landed a big sci-fi film package it is setting a global theatrical release for in Mercy, starring Chris Pratt, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and produced by Oscar-nominated producer Charles Roven. I understand the deal closed in the past week with a spring start of production planned.
The project puts Pratt back in business with Amazon, which acquired his Skydance movie The Tomorrow War from Paramount and turned into a big Prime Video hit during the pandemic. He also has the series The Terminal List on Prime.

Chris Pratt admitted he didn’t feel good about himself after realizing how much weight he gained. The experience didn’t only take a toll on him physically, but mentally as well.

Pratt didn’t always look the way that he did in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Parks and Recreation fans might recall Pratt once sported a bit of a larger, less muscular physique. At one point, Pratt had mixed feelings towards his appearance. Although he thought he was letting himself go, his comedy on the hit sitcom had never been better.

Recent interviews with billionaire Anthony Pratt exposed former President Donald Trump for asking his wife, Melania Trump, to parade around Mar-a-Lago in a bikini “so all the other guys could get a look.”
Pratt, owner of an international newspaper and packing company, developed a close personal relationship with the former president over the past few years. He purchased a Mar-a-Lago membership and was present during gatherings that are of interest to Special Counsel Jack Smith in his investigation of Trump.
Smith indicted Trump over the summer for the illegal retention of national security information and has also alleged that Trump shared this information with others who did not have proper clearance.
Prosecutors secretly recorded Pratt and captured him praising Trump as a president and friend.
“He knows exactly what to say and what not to say so that he avoids jail, but gets so close to it that it looks...

Welcome to Wrexham‘s Rob McElhenney continues to prove he’s best buddies with Ryan Reynolds as he prepared a special birthday celebration for his fellow Wrexham A.F.C. co-owner with a Parks and Recreation twist with the help of Chris Pratt. Honoring Reynolds’ 47th birthday, McElhenney brings Pratt into his offices for help introducing the special gift. Sitting in awkward silence in the video, above, Pratt bluntly asks, “What am I doing here?” “You know how Ryan and I are always doing these elaborate things for each other’s birthdays?” McElhenney replies. While Pratt casually says yes at first, leading McElhenney to jump into his reason for reaching out, Pratt eventually admits, “I don’t know, but I’m excited. Tell me.” (Credit: FX) This leads to a silly and awkward discussion about social media and how Reynolds and McElhenney share their birthday surprises on various platforms. “Do...

And on Sunday, 60 Minutes Australia played recordings of secret tapes where Pratt disclosed other non-public information Trump shared with him, including information about U.S. military operations in Iraq and Trump’s conversations with the presidents of Iraq and Ukraine.

Three episodes into Quantum Leap Season 2, and we’re still very much enjoying Ben’s (Raymond Lee) journey on these jumps through time. And one such leap is going to take Ben to 1961 for an episode that was filmed in Egypt. “That was beyond exciting,” Pratt tells TV Insider about shooting on location. “To actually physically get on a plane and go to something as historic and wonderful culturally was, I think, a real opportunity for the show. I hope we get to do it more. It’s a fun episode with some really great twists to it, and it’s a good action ride as well.” Quantum Leap has shown, just over its first season and a few episodes into its second, that it can do smaller, intimate stories and larger, action-packed ones equally as well. “We’ll continue to have fun ...

It was 2017, and I was sifting through a hundred pages of printed-out poetry, essays, photography, and art. Earlier that day, I'd gone to my college campus's library and paid - at a painful 10 cents per page - to have the soon-to-be journal issue printed in its entirety.
I was just starting an internship with Sinister Wisdom, the nearly 50-year-old pillar of lesbian literary and arts publishing. I was an editorial assistant of sorts, helping the editor ready a journal issue for print and distribution. Now, sitting on the floor of my bedroom with hundreds of pages of writing fanning out around me, it was time to order the manuscript, paying attention to flow, theme, and genre.

The end of an era has given way to the start of a new one. Nintendo has announced that Mario (and his brother Luigi) have a new voice in the video games, and that voice is going to be provided by actor Kevin Afghani. He will make his debut as the voice of the iconic duo in the upcoming game "Super Mario Bros. Wonder," which is set to hit shelves next week.
This news comes several weeks after it was revealed that Charles Martinet, who has been the voice of Mario since 1991, is retiring from the role. That meant that someone had to step in and fill those legendary shoes. That someone is Afghani, who is a voice actor with a relatively small resume up to this point in his career. This is far and away his most high-profile gig to date. No pressure. Afghani, taking to Twitter, had this...

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger opened up about his cheating scandal with his housekeeper Mildred Baena.
His affair was responsible for the end of his 25-year marriage with Maria Shriver.
“It’s not like we had a feud… we didn’t have a fight,” he told People. “It’s just my f— up.”
Schwarzenegger and Shriver split in 2011 after the scandal broke.
Shriver and Schwarzenegger have, at least publicly, remained amicable about their divorce.
Baena gave birth to her and Schwarzenegger’s son, Joseph, just days after Shriver welcomed her and Schwarzenegger’s son, Christopher.
Schwarzenegger and Shriver also share two daughters and a son, Katherine, 33, and Cristina, 32, and Patrick, 30.
Schwarzenegger made clear that despite his and Shriver’s rocky past, they make sure to collaborate as parents when it comes to their children. “We always made it very clear that the kids should not suffer from [my affair],” he said.

Katherine Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt's romance dates back to 2018, when they were first romantically linked. From there, the pair went on to get engaged, marry, and welcome two children together, who joined Pratt's son, Jack, from his previous marriage to Anna Faris. Their love story is one they're not shy about sharing, with Pratt telling Drew Barrymore in a July 2023 interview that he met his now-wife at church when he was "struggling and felt really broken."
Noting that they didn't start dating right after meeting, Pratt shared: "God has a fast-forward button. When it's right, boom. You fall in love, you get married. Now we have two beautiful daughters to add to my family."
Of how things worked out with him and Schwarzenegger, the actor added, "My own journey, finding a higher power and leaning on that and being like, 'please save me,' and then feeling saved.

Before Chris Pratt and James Gunn managed to sneak an F-bomb past Kevin Feige and the censors in "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," Marvel directors had to be a little more subtle about their profanity. Pratt's delivery of the line in the third "Guardians" movie marked the first time the F-word had made it into a Marvel movie, signaling a truly seismic shift in cinematic history that will no doubt one day be mentioned in the same breath as the advent of technicolor or indeed the invention of film itself.
But Star-Lord snapping at Nebula is arguably not the most offensive thing to have happened in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and no, we're not talking about the CGI in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." No, the most dubious line yet delivered came all the way back in 2012.

A meeting of two great masters of horror, Creepshow blends George A. Romero’s macabre brand of satire with Stephen King’s darkly moral vision of the world. The anthology film doesn’t blossom out from the nihilism that marks Romero and King’s more famous works, but from audience-friendly parody and their shared love of the infamous publisher EC Comics, one of the earliest targets and casualties of the Comics Code Authority. Comic-book aesthetics dominate the film, from vivid splashes of color to animated effects like frames divided into panels and page-flip transitions between segments. With Creepshow, Romero and King stepped far enough outside their creative comfort zones to find fruitful common ground in the film’s five stories, and without one artist’s personality outweighing the other’s.
Creepshow’s five stories are linked by a through line of sardonic moralism, a sense of reckoning redolent of Flannery O’Connor’s anti-fables.
