AdamBrody admits ChrisPratt was ultimately a 'better fit' for the role of “Guardians of the Galaxy”’s Peter Quill despite wanting the part
“He is bigger, stronger, but tonally, I really dug it,” Brody lamented.
Pratt starred as the space-faring smuggler and thief who stole fans’ hearts when the first film hit theaters in 2014. He went on to reprise the role in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”, “Avengers: Infinity War”, “Avengers: End Game”, “Thor: Love and Thunder”, “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special”, and finally “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3”, which came out earlier this year.
Before Pratt was cast in the role — which he was offered a chance to read for but initially declined — several other actors, apart from Brody, were considered for the smart-talking, handsome, affable space pirate with a heart of gold. Joel Edgerton, Jack Houston, Eddie Redmayne, Michael Rosenbaum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zachary Levi, Glenn Howerton, Jim Sturgess, John Gallagher Jr. and even Lee Pace — who was later cast as the film’s primary antagonist, Ronan the Accuser — all read for the role.
