Glen Powell is perfectly acing his game in Hollywood two decades after starting his career, thanks to his recent pieces that have finally granted him his breakthrough: Everybody Wants Some!! and Top Gun: Maverick. But while people know him now, they don’t know how 2 actors from Avengers: Endgame accidentally helped him transform into the massive superstar he is today.

These two stars were none other than two of the three Chrises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth. Through the development of their roles, the duo reportedly greatly inspired Powell to mold himself in a way that everyone would love him. And that most certainly seems to have worked, considering how Powell is the star everyone is talking about today!

Back in 2013, five years prior to the release of ‘Infinity War,’ Patton Oswalt ad-libbed lines about the MCU. In the TV show ‘Parks and Recreation,’ Oswalt’s character, Garth Blundin, shares his Marvel/Star Wars crossover fan fiction to deter Leslie Knope from altering Pawnee’s laws.
Despite being entirely improvised in April 2013, Oswalt’s character accurately foreshadowed Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones to confront the Avengers in the MCU.
Recently, Oswalt made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where he discussed his foresight in predicting certain events.
Some things weirdly came true; some on purpose, some by accident.(…) They had not done ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ . When I say Time Gem, they cut to Chris Pratt. This was way before he did ‘Guardians’ .Also, Amy has the funniest line in the whole thing when she says ‘the female part’s a little underwritten’, which was so exactly what those movies were.

5 years before ‘Infinity War’ was released, in 2013 to be more exact Patton Oswalt improvised a series of lines regarding the Mc. The character played by Oswalt in ‘Parks and Recreation’ who goes under the name Garth Blundin reveals his Marvel/Star Wars crossover fan fiction in an attempt to stop Leslie Knope from changing Pawnee’s laws.
Although the scene, performed by Patton Oswalt in April 2013, was entirely improvised, Oswalt’s character correctly predicted that the MCU would feature Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones to battle the Avengers.
Now Oswalt appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! several days ago and commented on the fact that he predicted some of the things:

It's an uncertain time for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Marvel Studios looking to get back to quality over quantity, we're expecting sweeping changes to be made to the Multiverse Saga slate, with D23 or Comic-Con the most likely destinations for an update.
However, we're not the only ones wondering what's next. Talking to The Playlist, Benedict Cumberbatch was asked what he knows of Doctor Strange 3.
"Who knows," he responded when they wondered whether it would be released before the next Avengers movies. As for the former Sorcerer Supreme's role in those, Cumberbatch added, "We will see. We will find out. I’m not sure where he’s been and what he’s been up to and who with, but yeah, I know as little as you."

It’s been over a year since the release of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,’ marking the conclusion of the team’s journey as we knew it. It also served as James Gunn’s final directorial venture for the MCU before he transitioned full-time into directing for the newly established Dcu.
Chris Pratt’s character, Star-Lord, received a fitting conclusion; despite losing the girl, he gained something far more significant: the chance to rediscover what he lost when he was abducted by Yondu. The film’s closing scenes depict Peter enjoying a meal with his maternal grandfather, leaving viewers with the hopeful message, “Star-Lord will return.”
Certainly, Peter Quill remains a significant figure in the MCU, being one of its most beloved characters. Thus, it seemed inevitable that he would make appearances in future projects. However, a seed of doubt was planted, given Rocket Raccoon’s assumption of leadership...

It’s been more than a year since ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3.’ was released. It marked the end of the team as we knew it, and it was also the last movie that Gunn would direct for the MCU before he transitioned full-time into helming the newly established Dcu.
Chris Pratt’s character, Star-Lord got the ending he deserved, he lost the girl but gained something much better, the opportunity to figure out what he lost when he was abducted by Yondu. In the last scenes of the movie, Peter is enjoying a meal with his maternal grandfather, the final message being “Star-Lord will return.”
Obviously, Peter Quill is a massive part of the MCU and one of the most popular characters, so it was only logical that he would return to subsequent projects, but then again the seed of doubt has been sown considering that Rocket...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 was always intended to be the final Gotg movie (at least for the foreseeable future), and it served as a fitting send-off for the team - but it did also lay the groundwork for potential follow-ups/spin-offs at the same time.
One post-credits scene introduced a new incarnation of the Guardians led by Rocket Raccoon, and the other teased the possibility of a solo Star-Lord adventure, with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) returning to Earth to reconnect with his grandfather.
Director James Gunn has previously addressed that final "The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return" title card, and it sounds like there are (or were) indeed tentative plans in place for a spin-off focusing on Quill's effort to adapt to life back on Terra.
"Oh, but not quite over. We always want to give somebody a little something special. And Chris and I, forever, have talked...

Casting Chris Pratt as Star-Lord was a pretty big gamble for Marvel. After all, to most of us he was the man-child Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation and nothing more. Fortunately for Pratt and the MCU, director James Gunn saw something special in him. While a number of actors also auditioned for the part, one who still remembers that moment and why he didn’t land Peter Quill is Joel Edgerton, who is well aware he just didn’t understand the tone they were going for.
Appearing on The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast (via Variety), Joel Edgerton remembered Guardians of the Galaxy being one of the most high-profile projects he missed out on, probably for good reason. “Star-Lord’s a good one, actually, because I, unlike Chris [Pratt], didn’t quite sort of understand the tone of it the way he did and the way that those guys did.

The Lincoln Lawyer star Manuel Garcia-Rulfo has been cast in a fresh take on the Jurassic World films. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, who led the $3.96 billion trilogy, will not be returning for the new film, directed by Gareth Edwards. While other prominent stars like Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey are also part of the film, it is highly unlikely that the film will make money like Pratt’s films.
Manuel Garcia-Rulfo will replace Chris Pratt in the next film in the Jurassic Park series after Jurassic World: Dominion
When it comes to the box office numbers of films, it almost appears that the Guardians of the Galaxy star is a money magnet. He has been part of a number of billion-dollar-grossing projects in recent times, including last year’s film The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Marvel Studios' hunt for Star-Lord didn't result in quite as much attention as some other MCU roles. However, the decision to enlist Chris Pratt as the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise's lead generated a lot of discussion among fans.
It didn't take him long to prove James Gunn had made a perfect choice by choosing him to play Star-Lord. However, in an interview with The Playlist, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Dark Matter star Joel Edgerton has left us wondering "What If...?" by revealing he also auditioned to play Peter Quill.

It was a short trip down memory lane, but it was done properly because all the numbers were finally in, and there was enough time to objectively interpret the facts and numbers before us. This is why we decided to report on this list.

Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted is loosely based on the invention of Pop-Tarts. Seinfeld’s feature directorial debut uses a shot inspired by the Steven Spielberg classic of 1975, Jaws. In the film, Spielberg uses the Dolly Zoom shot, which the Seinfeld creator has copied in his upcoming Netflix comedy. Seinfeld opened up about how such classic cinematic shots influenced him as a filmmaker.

When the original concept of the Marvel property was announced, there was initial uncertainty over the premise. Guardians of the Galaxy was simply weird.

The misadventure follows Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), who finds himself in trouble with fellow bounty hunters after he steals an orb coveted by Ronan. To evade the powerful

Avengers: Endgame has completed its five-year anniversary. Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt took a moment to celebrate one of the grandest MCU movies of all time with a video from the set of the Russo Brothers’ 2019 movie that closed the chapter of the Infinity Saga.

The actor was nostalgic while sharing the video that featured the roster of MCU stars as they ensemble for the final battle against former MCU big bad of Infinity Saga, Thanos. The movie was of epic proportion, a grand narrative propelling MCU’s mightiest heroes to fight against the near impossible battle against the Mad Titan. Many fans have still not recovered from the effects of it.

Chris Pratt faced some very stiff competition to play Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actor perfectly embodies the fun but complex hero in several films across the franchise. However, he faced stiff competition from a talented batch of actors to earn a chance to join the Avengers.
In a franchise that already had several (expertly cast) actors named Chris on the team, he was introduced as the plucky and smart-mouthed Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill) in 2014′s Guardians of the Galaxy.
Since then, he’s stepped out with the team of heroes multiple times, most recently in 2023′s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
While he is now synonymous with the part, we did some digging and rounded up 15 other actors who auditioned for the opportunity. Interestingly, there are even rumors about who were the second and third choices.
Some of his competitors wound up acting alongside Chris in the MCU.

Chris Pratt listened to a lot of old school music as his Guardians of the Galaxy character Peter Quill. But after a while, he didn’t enjoy the soundtrack nearly as much as his Star-Lord did.

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.

The third installment of ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ hit theaters on May 5th, 2023, marking a significant success for the studio following the disappointing reception of ‘Quantumania’. Gunn initially proposed ideas for this final film in November 2014, later confirming his return as writer and director in April 2017.
However, Disney dismissed him from the project in July 2018 due to controversial Twitter posts, only to reinstate him by October of the same year. His comeback was announced publicly in March 2019, and production resumed once he completed his work on DC’s ‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Peacemaker’ series. Despite the movie’s success, Gunn had no plans to remain in the MCU, as he had already been appointed co-chairman and co-ceo of DC Studios, gearing up to lead a new and revamped DC Universe, replacing the existing Dceu.
In the ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, by the movie’s conclusion, most of the team embarked on their own paths.

Chadwick Boseman Once Revealed That He Initially Auditioned For Gotg Role & Not Black Panther! (Photo Credit – IMDb)
Chadwick Boseman was a talented actor who left us too soon, but his legacy, especially in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will always be remembered by the fans. He won hearts as Prince T’Challa, aka Black Panther, but if things had gone differently at Marvel Studios, he would have ended up in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy characters’ roles.
We saw Chadwick as Black Panther for the first time in Captain America: Civil War in 2016. He got his solo film in 2018, which was both commercially and critically successful. The film even won three Oscars. He was all set to return in the 2022 sequel but unfortunately passed away in 2020. He played a vital role in Avengers: Infinity War, but his character got blipped by Thanos’ snap at the end, and he returned...

The casting directors for the Marvel Cinematic Universe have the Midas touch. Every role that they cast is golden!
Chris Pratt as Star-Lord is no exception. He perfectly embodies the fun but complex hero in several films across the franchise.
However, he faced stiff competition from a talented batch of actors to earn a chance to join the Avengers.
In a franchise that already had several (expertly cast) actors named Chris on the team, he was introduced as the plucky and smart-mouthed Star-Lord (aka Peter Quill) in 2014′s Guardians of the Galaxy.
Since then, he’s stepped out with the team of heroes multiple times, most recently in 2023′s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
While he is now synonymous with the part, we did some digging and rounded up 15 other actors who auditioned for the opportunity. Interestingly, there are even rumors about who were the second and third choices.

Season 2 of Disney+’s animated What If…? anthology answered nine new questions in Season 2, including: “What if Nebula joined the Nova Corps?” “What if Peter Quill attacked Earth’s Mightiest Heroes?” And, “What if the Avengers assembled in the year 1602?”
But one question that the showrunner for Seasons 1 and 2 also asked and answered will never see the light of day, seeing as it was a “very dark” episode involving your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

The second season of What If? has been dropped by Marvel Studios in a year that has seen both the rise and fall of the MCU. The final Guardians of the Galaxy and the second season of Loki were absolute triumphs, while the rest was pretty much a let down. I’m not even going to go into the Jonathan Major fiasco, but that must have hurt the MCU, and the future of this thing doesn’t look too bright. Considering all these, it was essential for Marvel to wrap up this year strong, and the good news is that What If? has been quite successful in doing that. With the anthology format, it was a given that some of the episodes would not be that good, while others might just be extraordinary. And that’s exactly how it went. We’re going to rank the new batch of episodes...

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" ended with a new team of Guardians led by Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). One of their number was Phyla (Kai Zen), a young white-haired girl and freed test subject of evil geneticist the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).
If you're a comics fan, then yes, you likely realized that this was indeed the Marvel Cinematic Universe incarnation of the hero Phyla-Vell. If you only watch the movies, you're still thinking (to quote Korath the Pursuer), "Who?!" Well, let me explain.
In the comics, Phyla is the daughter of Captain Marvel — the alien warrior Mar-Vell, not Carol Danvers. Annette Benning played a female version of Mar-Vell in 2019's "Captain Marvel," but the character is traditionally male. Mar-Vell and his progeny are Kree, the imperious race to which "Guardians of the Galaxy" villain Ronan The Accuser (Lee Pace) belonged. The Kree have both blue and pink-shaded skin...

A grieving kid with cosmic radiation flowing through his veins and an unhinged celestial being sounds like the kind of problem you’d call in the Avengers for. But the group that MCU’s gotten you familiar with—the ones who never retreat without ensuring the enemy has fallen—is sort of different here. The second episode of What If season 2 pulls an adolescent Peter Quill to safety before he’s fully corrupted by the extraterrestrial half of his lineage. You might want to brush up on your knowledge of the lesser-known, mostly forgotten Marvel superheroes if you really want to make the most of the experience this episode has in store for you.

Viewers of Merry Little Batman meet Damian Wayne as the lovable scamp who chases his cat Selina through the halls of stately Wayne Manor, decked in a blanket for a cape and a brown paper bag for a cowl, just like his dear old dad, Batman. The delightful holiday special imagines Damian as a good-hearted soul who wants nothing more than to be like his pop, and doesn’t even get too upset at his father’s overprotective demands. When the Joker returns to Gotham while Batman is trapped in the Arctic, Damian gets his chance to prove that he deserves to be called “Son of the Bat.”
But comic book readers first met Damian under very different circumstances. In a 1987 graphic novel by Mike W. Barr and Jerry Bingham, Batman reluctantly joins forces with eco-terrorist Ra’s al Ghul to take down the assassin Quain. During the alliance, Batman...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it is generally set in the present. There have been flashbacks and side tours (especially in the spinoff TV shows on Disney+), but, starting with "Iron Man," the narrative has only moved forward -- which sets it apart from popular franchises like "Star Wars" and the Harry Potter movies. Regardless of what you think about the current direction of the MCU, this is something of a blessing. There's nothing more stultifying than fill-in-the-gaps storytelling.
Of course, in a universe this expansive, it is tempting to wonder about what came before.

Things have gotten a little twisted in the multiverse. The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) returns in Marvel’s What If…? Season 2 trailer (above). And in the spirit of the holiday season, the animated series invites fans to unwrap a new episode every night for nine nights this December. What If…? Season 2 premieres on Friday, December 22, on Disney+, with one episode coming out every night for nine nights. The trailer introduces a new group of Avengers, as well as introduces Karen Gillan‘s Nebula, Cate Blanchett‘s Hela, and Jon Favreau‘s Happy Hogan into the animated series. A young and powerful Peter Quill is also seen going up against a group of heroes, and Thanos appears fighting both Captain Carter (who’s voiced by Hayley Atwell again in Season 2) and Captain America (voiced by Josh Keaton) in separate instances. The latter fight is a recreation of Captain America and Thanos’ one-on-one fight in Avengers: Infinity War.

Marvel and Disney+ have been sprinkling out little details about season 2 of the Disney+ series "What If... ?" over the last few months, like a proper introduction to the Alternate Gamora, as well as the inclusion of Marvel's first Mohawk superhero, Kahhori, who was created specifically for the show. The character's inclusion was actually spoiled early when she appeared as part of a limited-edition Funko collectable, so it's clear that Marvel has high expectations for the new episode. The series has been called "the ultimate superhero fan fiction," and boasts some truly incredible animation.
The first season of the hit series looked at what would happen to all our favorite Marvel Cinematic Universe characters if things had been different. In season 1, we saw what could have happened (and maybe did in a different part of the multiverse) if Peggy Carter got the super-soldier serum instead of Steve Rogers and became Captain Carter.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 closed the book on that particular Marvel franchise, with several of the actors confirming that the threequel would be the last time they would portray their characters. However, that’s not to say that they don’t have any unfinished business. In Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 on Disney+, Zoe Saldaña said that she would have loved to have seen a spinoff focusing on Gamora and Nebula.
“I would have loved to have just seen a spin-off based on that sisterhood,” Zoe Saldaña said. “It’s so complex. It’s so controversial. It’s also so relatable in a sense that, not me by personal experience, but knowing that there are siblings out there that have had troubled lives at home, and managed to survive because of their kinship, because of their brotherhood or their sisterhood.“

When Guardians of the Galaxy was first announced, many believed that it would be the first flop of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The characters, which included a talking raccoon and a sentient tree, were completely unknown to mainstream audiences. However, James Gunn had a groundbreaking vision for what would become one of Marvel’s most popular series, but that vision might have been quite different if the actors he originally had in mind for the leading roles in Guardians of the Galaxy were cast.

One of the MCU’s most beloved characters, Groot, has returned to the small screen once again as the second season of the animated short series I am Groot has been released on Disney+. If a series were centered on any other B-tier character of any other existing MCU IP (read Agatha), I would have gone on a rant about the MCU overexploiting its characters, but Groot is special, even among the ragtag ensemble known as The Guardians of the Galaxy. In fact, unsurprisingly, the only two good ventures the MCU has released this year are based on characters from Guardians of the Galaxy, the first being the final, third installment of the movie series, and the second being this compilation of shorts we are going to discuss.

I remember the first time I dubbed for Peter Quill, they were so excited about my voice on Chris Pratt’s face that I became his unofficial voice across India.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are rebuilding the DC Universe and giving fans what they want. The studio co-head is teasing a world map for the comic book heroes from the Dcu.
A DC fan took to Threads to ask Gunn if he had “given any thought to the lay of the land in the Dcu.” The fan wanted to know where each of the heroes live in the universe to get a visual representation of how far or close their proximity is to each other.
“We are creating an incredibly detailed world map,” Gunn replied.
Prior to that, a Guardians of the Galaxy fan asked Gunn if there was a possibility that some of the actors from the Marvel film could guest star as themselves in the new season of Peacemaker. The fan mentioned Chris Pratt, who played Star-Lord Peter Quill and Pom Klementieff, who played Mantis.
