It seems like popular actor Chris Pratt has been subjected to severe backlash! So much so that fans have been asking the makers to replace the actor in the Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 3. The controversy came into existence in the first place after it was revealed that the actor is associated with Hillsong, which is a global evangelical megachurch. The church has reportedly been accused of harbouring homophobic tendencies.
However, leader Brian Houston writes on the church website that they are a gay welcoming church but they are not a church that affirms a gay lifestyle. Some took to Twitter as his name was dragged on Twitter as several fans have called the actor the “worst Hollywood Chris”. However, several cast and crew members of Marvel have recently come to Pratt’s rescue.
Director James Gunn Defends The Lead Star Of Guardians of the Galaxy!
While fans have been urging the maker to replace the actor as they believe that Chris Pratt should not be part of the movie franchise anymore, director James Gunn soon came to the actor’s defence and confirmed that he will never be replaced as Star-Lord and if that happens then they all leave with him! Earlier in October, last year, fellow Marvel stars Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr. and Zoe Saldana have also defended Chris Pratt. This is what director James Gunn wrote in Pratt’s defence.

Pratt and wife Katherine Schwarzenegger are also regulars at Los Angeles’s Zoe Church, which is seen as an affiliate of Hillsong. Pratt himself has denied any such rumours further stating how he goes to a church that opens their doors to absolutely everyone. Even Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. described Pratt as a real Christian who lives by principle and further adds that the actor has never demonstrated anything but positivity and gratitude.
Fans recently took to Twitter and Pratt’s appearance in the newly released trailer of Thor: Love and Thunder has taken social media by storm. As many are shipping Thor and Star-Lord’s chemistry, many are pointing out the irony of the situation.
