2026 has not been without its ups and downs for Chris Pratt, who starred in one of the first box office bombs of the year with Mercy. Pratt features alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the sci-fi thriller, which fell well short of its $120 million break-even point, grossing only $54 million at the worldwide box office. The film has gone on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year on Prime Video. Pratt found box office redemption reprising his role as Mario in the first $1 billion movie of 2026, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film was added to Peacock on August 1 following its successful box office run. Pratt is also expected (but not confirmed) to reprise his role as Star Lord in Avengers: Doomsday later this year on December 18.

Even outside his famous role as Star Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, Pratt has become one of the biggest blockbuster stars in the world. Pratt’s role as Owen Grady in the Jurassic World movies helped make him one of the highest-grossing movie stars in the world, but as evidenced by *Mercy *earlier this year, not all of his movies are smash hits at the box office. Back in 2021, Pratt starred alongside Yvonne Stahovski in The Tomorrow War, the $200 million sci-fi film written by Zach Dean and directed by Chris McKay. While the movie was originally planned to be released in theaters, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the strategy, and it was ultimately dropped straight to streaming on Prime Video. All these years after it was released, The Tomorrow War is still one of the most popular movies on Prime Video in several countries.

Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.

You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.

The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.

You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.

Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.

The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
