Chris Pratt Is Really Going Mask Off and It Ain't Pretty

Chris Pratt has a new movie to promote, and you know things are going great when it’s another Amazon production being dumped in theaters in January. While I’m sure he’s still making money hand over fist doing, Pratt’s blockbuster status is running on fumes with Marvel and the Jurassic World days increasingly behind him. (He’ll almost definitely pop up in Doomsday and/or Secret Wars to cap off his Star-Lord run.) Sure, he voices Mario, but nobody’s slapping Pratt opposite Jennifer Lawrence anymore, and thank God for that. I should be arrested just for hinting at Passengers.

Anyway, in this downward era, Pratt has become less and less concerned with hiding his political leanings. Shortly after the 2024 election, he farted out a fireside chat about how parochial Sunday dinners (with dad at the head of the table, of course) and good old-fashioned sportsmanship is what America needs right now. Pratt would later appear on Bill Maher’s podcast to do some light PR for his something-in-law RFK Jr. The breadcrumbs are not hard to miss.

That brings us to this week’s premiere of Pratt’s new film, Mercy, where he fired off some thoughts about AI actress Tilly Norwood. In true Pratt fashion, it’s hard to tell whether he’s mad about the encroachment of AI or the backlash. More notably, he used a surprising, yet telling amount of venom for a red carpet Q&A.

Via Variety, emphasis mine:

“I don’t feel like someone’s gonna replace me that’s AI,” Pratt said. “I heard this Tilly Norwood thing, I think that’s all bulls***. I’ve never seen her in a movie. I don’t know who this b**** is. It’s all fake until it’s something.”

I’m something of a dinosaur myself, and even I know that you don’t go around calling women (including computer ones) the B-word. That’s a huge no-no in private, let alone in a quote to one of the biggest trades in Hollywood.

But, hey, maybe the Tilly Norwood quote is a one-off, and I’m reading too much into Pratt’s seeming descent into the toxic manosphere. It’s not like he’s out here wishing he was a tougher, more gun-toting Marvel character. That would be too on the nose, right?
