Chris Pratt on the red carpet
Before he broke out as one of his generation's most successful leading men, Chris Pratt was best known for playing supporting characters in comic projects. He was an integral part of NBC's Parks and Recreation, which humorously acknowledged his changing appearance in the later seasons.
Pratt first ventured into action roles with Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, released a few years before he landed his first leading role in a studio tentpole. It was during this time that Pratt was also touted as Harrison Ford's successor in the Indiana Jones franchise; this ultimately didn't happen. Pratt's still firmly a member of the Hollywood A-list, even though two of his most lucrative franchises have run their course. The film series that took him to the big leagues, however, is heading to a new streamer in March. It was in 2015 that Pratt headlined the blockbuster film Jurassic World, which made the unexpected creative choice to not lean into his natural skills as a comic actor. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, who had only made one indie feature until then, Jurassic World served as a reboot of the iconic Jurassic Park franchise co-created by Steven Spielberg in the 1990s. The new movie was set years after the events of the original trilogy, and was mostly well-liked by fans. This was before nostalgia-baiting became frowned upon, and Jurassic World got away with plenty of fan service. The movie famously broke The Avengers' record for the biggest domestic opening weekend gross in history, and went on to deliver a bigger worldwide haul than that film. Here's Where You Can Watch 'Jurassic World' this March Produced on a reported budget of more than $200 million, the movie grossed more than $1.6 billion worldwide. It holds a 72% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads,"Jurassic World can't match the original for sheer inventiveness and impact, but it works in its own right as an entertaining — and visually dazzling popcorn thriller." It was followed by two sequels, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion, which grossed over $1 billion worldwide each but earned weaker reviews. The franchise was recently rebooted again, with Jurassic World Rebirth.
