When you think Guardians of the galaxyIt is difficult to imagine someone different from Chris Pratt Like Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord. But it turns out, the man who would become the face of the franchise was not even desired in the audition room. At least, not by the director James Gunn.
In a recent interview with Et, Pratt has opened his long journey to Marvel’s celebrity. Before landing his role as MCU of Breakout, he had been broadcast for several great successes including Thor AND Captain America: The First Avenger.
Despite a successful race Parks and recreational activitiesPratt assumed that the comedy was his lane. But his time inside Zero Dark Thirty He changed that mentality. Putting fit for the gritty military thriller made him hungry for something bigger.
However, Pratt was not sold to try another Marvel film, but his agent convinced him.
“He was like” I’m telling you, guardians of the galaxy. “I was like” well, I will do it. “And so [casting director] Sarah Finn hid me. “
Sarah Halley Finn is the director of the Casting of Powerhouse behind countless Marvel projects, became Rogue and got Pratt at the door. It is she who brought together the avengers, after all, so if he believed in Pratt for Star-Lord, listening.
But also with Finn’s support, there was a great road block: Gunn. According to Pratt, the director had already decided, and he was not in his favor. Pratt said:
“James Gunn hadn’t agreed to see me, it’s like” What does it do here? I told you I didn’t want to see it. “Then I made the audition, and like 20 seconds, it’s like” this is my guy “.
In a few moments, Gunn made a complete 180. He didn’t even want to be in the same room, to be completely sold.
Guardians of the galaxy It became an unexpected success. It took a group of dark Miss Marvel and transformed them into family names. He launched Pratt in an A-List territory and helped Cement Gunn as one of the most creative filmmakers of the MCU, a trajectory that in the end led him to become co-head of DC Studios.
Looking back, it is wild thinking about how much we have come to a totally different version of Star-Lord. But thanks to a persistent agent, a confident casting director and a reluctant but open director, the right boy ended with the red leather jacket.
