Chris Pratt Talks Backlash For The Thanos Scene In "Avengers: Infinity War"

What is your most hated character's choice in a movie? For me, it's the scene in 'Speed' when Helen (Beth Grant) tries to get off the bus, putting everyone in danger and is blown up by Dennis Hopper and falls under the moving vehicle.

Chris Pratt was on the Out Of Order podcast, where he talked about his most iconic scenes. The most famous being the scene in 'Avengers: Infinity War' when Iron Man, Spider-Man, Drax and are trying to get the Infinity Stone glove off Thanos' hand when Pratt's character Peter Quill/Star-Lord angrily punches Thanos, allowing him to break free of Mantis' mind control.

"It’s a mega scene. I look at it differently now than I did going into it. This was very much a supporting part. Between Infinity War and Endgame, I think I worked maybe twenty days total. I was there to support the Avengers cast. I love the Russos—they’re great at letting us collaborate, contribute to the writing, and shape the characters."

"This was also the first time I played the character without James Gunn directing me. That was noticeable, especially given James’s relationship to Peter Quill. But this wasn’t a Guardians movie—it was an Avengers movie. What’s wild about this scene is how much people eviscerated Quill for that moment of human weakness. People genuinely hated the character for a while."

"On the street, they’d come up to me like, 'Why’d you do it, man?' I’m like, 'I didn’t do anything!' Also, if Quill hadn’t done that, the two movies would’ve been thirty minutes long. 'We got him.' Roll credits. That’s not a movie. Looking back, I feel the weight of what that moment did to the character. I’m still glad it happened, but I didn’t realize at the time it would become iconic."
