NEWS: Chris Pratt Cast as Peter Quill in Guardians of the Galaxy Movie

Say wha?

Chris Pratt, best known as Andy Dwyer of “Parks and Recreation” fame, has been cast as Peter Quill/Star-Lord in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Chris Pratt has a bevvy of likable goofballs under his belt, but his dramatic turn in “Zero Dark Thirty” was mighty impressive. Proving himself capable of such gritty action might have been what pushed producers over the edge in this decision – either way it’s a completely off-the-wall choice, and Pratt’s goofball charm and boy-next-door level of handsome will make a great Peter Quill; the boy who was bullied who becomes the Star-Lord. Definitely no complaints here.

Or, you know, it could have been this pic Pratt tweeted when he was training for “Zero Dark Thirty.”

Also still no complaints.
