Pratt’s breakthrough movie role came in 2014, playing lead hero Peter ‘Star-Lord’ in Guardians of the Galaxy film. The following year, Pratt’s star power rocketed even further upward thanks to his leading heroic role as Owen Grady in Jurassic World. Outside. He’s continued to rack up wins in sequels Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and of course Avengers: Infinity War.

Pratt will presumably return for next year’s Avengers 4, and now Deadline reports that Pratt might be looking to add another franchise to his resume, as he’s in early talks with Paramount to star in a movie reboot of The Saint.
