Chris Pratt ‘did not want to join’ Guardians of the Galaxy – was ‘tricked’ into it | Films | Entertainment

As if that wasn’t bad enough for the Marvel movie, Finn added: “And James [Gunn] didn’t want to see him.”

With a coy smile, she added: “And here we are!”

When pressed on how she finally got Pratt and Gunn in the room together, she admitted the director believes she “tricked” them. She added: “I disagree!”

Finn explained: “I think it was very very fortuitous timing. When Chris was walking into my office while James was walking out. We were all there together and I said: ‘Hey, let’s just do this!'”

The two Hollywood stars agreed, and Pratt began rattling off some of Star-Lord’s memorable lines from the first Guardians movie. Surprisingly, James Gunn was enchanted.

“Within 20 seconds of Chris starting to read the lines James turned to me and said: ‘He’s the guy.'”
