Any Parks and Recreation fans here?
Quote:
After a long search, Marvel Studios has found its lead for its next big superhero franchise, the James Gunn-directed Guardians Of The Galaxy. I hear the role will go to Chris Pratt, the Moneyball star who bulked up and played one of the hero Navy SEALs in Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty. The role is Star-Lord, the Guardians leader who is the offspring of a human mother and an alien father. A puffier Pratt plays Andy Dwyer on the NBC series Parks And Recreation. He certainly has the charisma to hold the screen.
Marvel had made test deals with Zero Dark Thirty‘s Joel Edgerton, Boardwalk Empire‘s Jack Huston, Cloud Atlas‘ Jim Sturgess, Lee Pace (who has roles in both Lincoln and The Hobbit), and Eddie Redmayne from Les Miserables. More recently, Zachary Levi was identified as a candidate. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was pursued, but he has other plans. An August 1, 2014 release date for the pic is planned.

Chris Pratt To Star In 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' Movie
This is him at this worse and current:
and this is him at his best:
He was ripped for Zero Dark Thirty and will have to get ripped again for his role as Star-Lord.
I love the casting btw. He's a comedian actor who has proven can act seriously when needed. A mix that is required for this movie where he will be dealing with a talking Racoon and Tree.
