No matter if it's "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Jurassic World," or "The Electric State," Chris Pratt’s charisma remains consistently appealing.
In a recent discussion with Entertainment Weekly Pratt talked about the parallels between his role as Peter Quill/Star-Lord from "Guardians" and his character Keats from "Electric State." He mentioned that these parts share noticeable similarities, noting that for films with a strong commercial appeal, he typically portrays a 'Sliding Doors'-style rogue adventurer.
Pratt mentioned, “I prefer to believe, optimistically, that applies to all roles I take on. It would be great if they were part of an expansive, family-friendly, lively science fiction movie.” He continued, “Given such a large-scale commercial setting, you’ll see variations of my preferred types of characters, much like different outcomes in 'Sliding Doors’ scenarios.’”
Pratt mentioned that both Peter Quill and Keats undergo a journey where they discover something greater than themselves worth fighting for, and they are ready to make personal sacrifices for this cause.
"During this conversation, [Keats] interacts with an animated figure,” Pratt explained. “It’s only during our chat here that I’m noticing some parallels. It seems as though [Keats] has a vibe similar to what Peter Quill might have experienced had he not been taken away into outer space. Instead, imagine him surviving through a robotic conflict and then fleeing alongside his mechanical companion.”
Pratt has appeared in three standalone "Guardians" movies portraying Peter Quill and debuted as Keats in the Netflix film "The Electric State" on March 14. This movie revolves around a young girl (played by Millie Bobby Brown), who needs to rescue her brother (portrayed by Woody Norman) from a malevolent company using highly realistic VR technology to manipulate people.
