Glen Powell is tipping his hat to Chris Pratt for indirectly helping him became a bonafide movie star. That’s because Powell views Pratt’s breakout role in Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” as a turning point when Hollywood became more open to leading men who were “a little more silly and buoyant.”
“Guardians of the Galaxy” opened in 2014, the same year Powell had a small supporting role in the action movie “The Expendables 3.” Powell had been trying and failing for years at that point to hit in big in Hollywood. He told GQ magazine in a new cover story that the industry’s preference for “brooding or dark” types like Christian Bale and “Twilight”-era Robert Pattinson left him on the outs when it came to casting big roles. But Pratt changed things.
“I remember when Chris Pratt broke out in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy,’” Powell said.
