Chris Pratt to Launch AR Universe Where Fans Can Fight Dinosaurs in His Backyard
LOS ANGELES — In a move that merges celebrity culture with immersive technology, Chris Pratt announced a partnership with Meta to launch "PrattWorld," a mixed-reality experience projected to debut by 2028, allowing users to hunt virtual dinosaurs, race off-road Jeeps, and share milkshakes with a digital Starlord—all from a hyper-realistic simulation of the actor's own ranch.
Industry futurists predict that by 2033, "PrattWorld" will evolve into a fully decentralized "Lifestyle Metaverse," where fans will pay subscription fees to interact with a constantly-updated AI version of Pratt. "We're seeing the death of passive celebrity fandom," said tech historian Dr. Lena Voss. "Within a decade, you’ll be able to chug a digital latte with Chris Pratt while he narrates your morning workout in real time."
The forecast also warns of a "privacy dino-crash": as Pratt’s digital avatar learns from user data, intimate conversations could be monetized—or hacked. Meanwhile, Pratt’s lawyers were tight-lipped about whether the real Chris Pratt would make annual cameos or if a deepfake would eventually be elected mayor of the virtual planet. "The line between actor and algorithm is about to go extinct," Voss added.
