Chris Pratt Announces AI-Generated 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Sequel, Actors Union Files Landmark Lawsuit
In a move that has sent shockwaves through Hollywood, Chris Pratt revealed today that the next installment of his blockbuster franchise will be entirely generated by a new AI system he co-developed, called 'Star-Lord 2.0.' The actor, known for his roles in 'Jurassic World' and 'The Super Mario Bros. Movie,' claims the technology can recreate his voice, likeness, and even emotional range without needing him on set. "I can finally do three movies at once—and still have time for my kids," Pratt quipped during a live-streamed announcement. However, the SAG-AFTRA actors union has immediately filed a landmark lawsuit, arguing that the AI threatens millions of jobs and could lead to a future where actors are replaced by digital ghosts. Industry insiders predict that within 10 years, Pratt's move—dubbed the 'Pratt Precedent'—will be the norm, splitting society between those who embrace synthetic celebrities and those who fight for human artistry. Meanwhile, Pratt's next scheduled film is reportedly 'The Legend of Chris Pratt,' an AI-powered biopic that will be released in 2030, but only if the courts don't order a digital boycott first.
