Chris Pratt will reportedly star in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy superhero movie franchise from Marvel.

The Zero Dark Thirty and “Parks and Recreation” actor will play Star-Lord, a.k.a. Peter Quill, the half-human, half-alien leader of the Guardians, according to Deadline.

This casting has NOT been confirmed yet by the studio or Pratt’s camp.

James Gunn is set to direct Guardians of the Galaxy, based on the comics following the adventures of an eclectic mix of alien superheroes who fight evil cosmic forces and protect the galaxy from danger.

There’s overlap between the Guardians world and Marvel’s The Avengers universe.
