In 2026, Chris Pratt is going through a tumultuous time. At the beginning of the year, the film Mercy, in which he co-starred with Rebecca Ferguson, failed to recoup its $60 million budget and did not achieve the expected success at the box office. However, Pratt managed to turn things around. Thanks to the success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the actor has been involved in successful projects at the box office since the start of the year. The film has surpassed $800 million worldwide and is expected to reach the $1 billion mark in the coming weeks. This success will be another prestigious win for Pratt, who has numerous $1 billion hits from the Marvel and Jurassic franchises.
Over the last decade, Pratt has become one of Hollywood's biggest action stars, but he wasn't always this bold in his earlier career. One of the actor's most famous roles was portraying Andy Dwyer in the popular sitcom Parks and Recreation, which also featured Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones. The show aired for seven seasons from 2009 to 2015, giving Pratt the chance to showcase his comedic talents. Even today, despite being one of Hollywood's top action stars, it's still inevitable that audiences laugh during scenes he appears in any project.
Parks and Recreation continues to be one of the most popular series worldwide, even more than a decade after its conclusion. In America, the series is available on the Peacock platform. According to the official synopsis, "Parks and Recreation follows the absurd moments of various projects undertaken by the public officials of an Indiana town to make their city a better place." The series has become a perfect binge-watch option for weekends, combining Pratt's comedic and dramatic performances.
