Chris Pratt Urges Fans to Check Out Shazam! Before Catching Avengers: Endgame


Shazam! was another solid entry for the DCEU, but everyone is expecting the movie to leave the spotlight after Avengers: Endgame comes out later this week. Chris Pratt, who plays Star-Lord in that movie, takes the time to urge people to check out Shazam! before catching Endgame.

He made this video after he watched the film with his kid:

While Aquaman was more of your standard superhero fare, I think Shazam! was a bit more different since the story centered around the theme of family. We have some genuinely human moments with Billy Batson in the film just trying to belong, and his relationship with Freddy is what I found essential to the film's tone.

Going back to Pratt though, it seems like it's going to be a while before we get to see Star-Lord again after Avengers: Endgame. Production for Guardians 3 is expected to resume in 2021, so I would imagine he has some time outside of the Jurassic World franchise to work on something else.

How about he jump ship like Zachary Levi did with Marvel and play Booster Gold for the DCEU? I know we have to wait for Guardians, but I think Pratt would do a great job. Hell, they could cast him as the new Hal Jordan if they push forward with that Green Lantern Corps film.

For now, you can catch Shazam! in theaters today. Avengers: Endgame comes out April 26.
