While he threw himself headlong into animation and his future at Marvel was unclear, Chris Pratt found his next project in the cinema.
Does Chris Pratt have a future without Marvel and Jurassic World ? The question has the merit of being asked, while the actor, raised to the rank of superstar, arrives at a turning point in his career. For the moment, he seems to have found his salvation in animation, with the mega success of Super Mario Bros. and the arrival in 2024 of its Garfield.
In terms of real shots, we were able to find him in the disappointing The Tomorrow War in 2021, or even in the series The Terminal List (both on Amazon Prime Video). In short, nothing very conclusive, and, above all, original cinema projects are still missing from the actor’s recent CV. To remedy this, Chris Pratt is counting on his next film, in collaboration with director McG.
If you remember this, well done
The (real) return of Chris Pratt?
According to information from Deadlinethis new film will be sold at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival market, and is expected to begin filming this summer. It would be an adaptation of the novel Way of the Warrior Kid by Jock Willink, with a screenplay by Will Staples. The latter notably co-wrote the film Without any remorsereleased in 2021 on Prime Video with Michael B. Jordan in the lead role.
Here is the synopsis: Jake (Chris Pratt), an elite Navy SEAL, is injured during a mission and moves in with his sister for his rehabilitation. And that’s where things go wrong. When he discovers that his 11-year-old nephew Marc is having academic and social difficulties, Jake takes on a new mission: to use his training with the SEAL team during the summer to help the young person find the warrior within them.
After helping raptors, Chris Pratt will help his nephew
We’re not going to hide it, this scenario which looks towards Karate Kid And Babysitter seems a little cutesy and is not the most reassuring. Especially since his intriguing Terminator: Rebirthwho unleashed passions in 2009, director McG has a series of disappointments and anecdotal projects. Screenwriter Will Staples is also not known for his stellar pedigree, which inevitably leads to distrust.
With an apparently very classic story, it will obviously be necessary to rely on the performances of the actors to bring emotion and differentiate Way of the Warrior Kid other similar tragedies. In any case, Chris Pratt seems motivated, since he is also producing the filmand is counting on the Cannes Film Festival to sell the project, which does not yet have a release date.
