Chris Pratt Reconsiders ‘Infinity War’ Backlash as ‘Doomsday’ Casting Omits Star-Lord

He says years of reaction to a pivotal scene reshaped how he views the character.

Overview

  • Speaking on Out of Order while promoting Mercy, Pratt said the response to a key Avengers: Infinity War moment affected him more than he expected, with strangers confronting him about it.
  • He estimated he filmed roughly twenty days total across Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, describing his role there as primarily supportive.
  • Pratt noted it was his first time playing Star-Lord without James Gunn directing and said the difference was noticeable.
  • He defended the contentious scene as narratively necessary, arguing the larger story required that setback to unfold.
  • Marvel previously indicated Star-Lord will return, but Pratt’s absence from early Avengers: Doomsday cast announcements has led to speculation about where he may appear next.
