2026 has been a roller-coaster of a year for Chris Pratt, who got the ball rolling with one of the biggest sci-fi misfires of the year, Mercy. Pratt co-stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the film, which grossed only $54 million at the box office against a $60 million budget before going on to become one of the biggest streaming hits of the year so far on Prime Video. Pratt found box office redemption with his return to the NintendoVerse in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which was the first film of the year to reach $1 billion at the box office. Pratt has also been tapped to return as James Reece in the second season of The Terminal List on Prime Video, setting him up for a big second half of 2026 with some massive momentum.
Pratt has several star-making roles under his belt, but one of the first that comes to mind is that of Star-Lord in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. He’s also famous for his work as Owen in the Jurassic World trilogy, but back in 2016, he starred in one of the most underrated sci-fi films of his career, Passengers. Jennifer Lawrence co-stars opposite Pratt in the film, which has found a streaming home on Netflix for most of the year, but this won’t be the case for much longer. Netflix announced not long ago that Passengers is officially leaving the streaming platform at the end of the month, meaning the last day to watch the film will be on August 31. It’s unclear at this time if the film is migrating to another platform at the start of September.
Collider Exclusive · Sci-Fi Survival Quiz Which Sci-Fi World Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars
Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you’d actually make it out of alive.
💊The Matrix
🔥Mad Max
🌧️Blade Runner
🏜️Dune
🚀Star Wars
01
You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.
02
In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.
03
What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you’re honest about what you’re actually afraid of.
04
How do you deal with authority you don’t trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.
05
Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn’t just tactical — it’s physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.
06
Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.
07
Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they’re actually made of.
08
What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another.
Your Fate Has Been Calculated You’d Survive In…
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
The Resistance, Zion
The Matrix
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
You’re drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
You’d find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines’ worst nightmare.
You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
The Matrix built an airtight prison. You’d be the one probing the walls for the door.
The Wasteland
Mad Max
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You don’t need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you’re good at all three.
You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
Los Angeles, 2049
Blade Runner
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
You’re not a hero. But you’re not lost, either.
In Blade Runner’s world, that distinction is everything.
Arrakis
Dune
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they’re survival tools.
You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You’d learn its logic and earn its respect.
In time, you wouldn’t just survive Arrakis — you’d begin to reshape it.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
You’d gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire’s grip can be broken.
You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn’t something you’re capable of.
In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
What Is ‘Passengers’ About?
The official synopsis for Passengers, which also stars Michael Sheen and Laurence Fishburne, reads as follows: “Mechanical engineer Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) wakes up alone aboard the starship Avalon, torn from hibernation 90 years too soon by a malfunction. Facing a lifetime of solitude before the ship reaches its destination, he’s confronted with an impossible choice that will change two lives forever. When writer Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) enters the picture, an unforgettable adventure ignites in this romantic sci-fi thriller.” Passengers earned 30% from critics but a passable 63% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The film also grossed $300 million at the box office against a $100 million budget, largely on the back of Lawrence’s stardom, who was red-hot at the time thanks to The Hunger Games movies.
Check out Passengers before it’s removed from Netflix at the end of this month, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Chris Pratt’s future projects.
