Chris Pratt Breaks Silence on Avengers: Doomsday Cast Absence

by

Chris Pratt, a longtime Marvel star, finally speaks up about his absence from the blockbuster film “Avengers: Doomsday“. In an interview with Collider during the promotion of his new movie “Mercy“, he addressed the viral livestream event where Marvel introduced 27 actors for “Doomsday“. Despite being a significant figure in the franchise, Pratt’s name was missing from the confirmed cast. In typical comedic fashion, the actor joked that a chair labeled with his name must have been on set and accidentally left out of the video.

When asked about the location of his chair, Pratt replied, “I’m not certain! It seemed quite distant, I believe. Maybe they switched to another scene without showing it. I can’t say for sure what transpired. Honestly, I’m unsure. But I’m confident that it was there.

In late March, the cast unveiling for the movie titled “Avengers: Doomsday” was held, marking its production kickoff. This live broadcast lasted over five hours, with the camera panning to show a fresh chair every 10-15 minutes, each bearing the name of a distinct actor. The extensive cast is a combination of actors from the Multiverse Saga and familiar faces returning from Fox’s X-Men series.

During the livestream, no actors connected to the Guardians of the Galaxy movie series were mentioned. Afterward, rumors emerged suggesting that Chris Pratt might not play Star-Lord again in Avengers: Doomsday because of a potential scheduling issue with The Terminal List Season 2. At this point, it appears that Star-Lord is absent from the script, but that could shift based on future developments over the coming months.

It’s clear that Pratt’s remarks were made in a playful manner. If there truly was a chair labeled with his name on the “Doomsday” set, Marvel would have undoubtedly showcased it alongside the others. Nevertheless, the finale of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 hinted at Star-Lord’s eventual return, and Pratt has confirmed they will stick to this plan. The question now is where we might see Star-Lord next, considering the Guardians series seems to be wrapping up. A team-up movie like “Doomsday” seemed a plausible option in that case. However, if Pratt’s schedule is packed with another project, fans will have to wait longer for his return. It’s possible that the character may appear in Avengers: Secret Wars instead. It would be unusual for such a prominent MCU character to be left out when concluding the Multiverse Saga.

For people who are still hoping that Chris Pratt could join the cast of Doomsday, Marvel has suggested that there may be more actor announcements in the future. At the moment, all we can do is rely on rumors and news reports – no official information directly from Marvel. It’s possible that Chris Pratt’s chair is already on the set of Doomsday, just waiting for its turn to shine during another live broadcast. The cast announcement for Doomsday broke viewership records, making it an unquestionable success. When Marvel decides to reveal the rest of the cast, they might try to replicate that same formula.
