The Jurassic Park and Guardians of the Galaxy franchise already turned Chris Pratt into an action star. However, he felt like he had to go the extra mile for his new movie, Mercy. Pratt, 46, plays a homicide detective named Chris Raven. He's on trial for the murder of his wife, but his judge isn't human. It's A.I., and the detective must prove his innocence while trapped in 90 minutes.
Chris Pratt Was in an Execution Chair for Almost an Hour at a Time
The Amazon movie has Rebecca Ferguson, 42, playing the face of the A.I. judge, Judge Maddox. Pratt knew this role was more serious than his previous quippy characters. The character's life depends on the program he helped create. Pratt asked director Timur Bekmambetov to keep him in the chair for 50 minutes at a time to get in the right headspace to play the falsely accused character.
"I thought this would help lend itself to the performance, and feelings of claustrophobia and being trapped," Pratt told BBC News. He got what he was asking for and talked about the uncomfortable situation. "I was sweating, so if my face itched, I couldn't scratch it, and I couldn't get up," he said.
He was also alone, like his detective character on set. Ferguson's character interacts with him solely on screen, which can make it challenging for an actor's performance. She told Rotten Tomatoes Trailers she chose to film her scenes on a different sound stage, and they used earpieces to hear each other.
"It would've been really hard to shift from an A.I. perspective who doesn't have an emotional, or shouldn't have an emotion behind her eyes," theDune: Part One star explained. The detective is allowed to gather evidence for his case through a municipal cloud. But that doesn't mean his character will stay in the same room for the entire movie. He teased that there are "great stunt and fight scenes." Mercy will be released in theaters on January 23, 2026.
