2026 has been a roller-coaster of a year for Chris Pratt, who got the ball rolling with one of the biggest sci-fi misfires of the year, Mercy. Pratt co-stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the film, which grossed only $54 million at the box office against a $60 million budget before going on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year so far on Prime Video. Pratt found box office redemption with his return to the NintendoVerse in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which was the first film of the year to reach $1 billion at the box office. Pratt has also been tapped to return as James Reece in the second season of The Terminal List on Prime Video, setting him up for a big second half of 2026 with some massive momentum.

Pratt has several star-making roles under his belt, but one of the first that comes to mind is that of Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. He’s also famous for his work as Owen in the Jurassic World trilogy, but back in 2016, he starred in one of the most underrated sci-fi films of his career, Passengers. Jennifer Lawrence co-stars opposite Pratt in the film, which has found a streaming home on Netflix for most of the year, but this won’t be the case for much longer. Netflix announced not long ago that Passengers is officially leaving the streaming platform at the end of the month, meaning the last day to watch the film will be on August 31. It’s unclear at this time if the film is migrating to another platform at the start of September.

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.
