After first establishing himself as loveable idiot Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation, Chris Pratt has since hit the gym and become one of Hollywood’s biggest action stars through his role as Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In addition to playing the wise-cracking, music-loving superhero, Pratt has also appeared in blockbusters such as The Magnificent Seven remake with Denzel Washington and Passengers alongside Jennifer Lawrence.
The Tomorrow War will see Pratt once again appear in a sci-fi blockbuster – set in 2051, the film sees humanity at war with an alien force and resorting to drafting soldiers from the past to strengthen their ranks to save Earth from extinction.
The movie has faced a tumultuous journey to the screen with it initially being set for a global cinema release distributed by Paramount. The worldwide closure of cinemas caused them to pull it from their schedule and sell the distribution rights to Amazon for a mammoth $200 million.
