Chris Pratt Under Fire as Fans Clash Over His Comments on Charlie Kirk

Written by: Mahnoor

Chris Pratt has found himself at the center of a storm, with Marvel fans launching campaigns against him online.

The actor, best known for his role as Star-Lord, has become the subject of heated debate after a simple message he shared in the wake of national tragedy.

On September 10, conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s event happened while speaking at Utah Valley University while speaking to a student.

The event sparked reactions from across the political spectrum and quickly drew responses from high-profile figures.

Among those voices was Pratt, who shared a brief message on social media.

The message immediately divided fans. Some criticized it as aligning him with Kirkโ€™s hardline political positions, while others defended Pratt for offering condolences for Krik’s family.

Social media platforms soon filled with hashtags demanding his removal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

โ€œANYWAY WE AIN’T GONNA WATCH ANYTHING YOU’RE IN. LEAVE MARVEL ALONE,โ€ one user posted, echoing the sentiment of many calling for his firing.

Others accused Pratt of selective sympathy, questioning why he had not spoken out during other national crises.

As criticism mounted, Pratt chose not to retreat but to respond more openly. He later posted a video prayer, asking followers to pause and join him.

The video softened some reactions, with fans leaving comments such as โ€œGod bless you Star Lordโ€ and โ€œThank you for that! Phone is hitting the table now.โ€ Yet, for others, it only fueled frustration over what they saw as Prattโ€™s public embrace of Kirk.

The backlash against Pratt played out while authorities moved quickly in the Kirk case.

Despite trending hashtags, no reports suggest Marvel has taken action against Pratt. What is clear, however, is that Pratt has chosen not to stay silent, breaking through the noise with a video that reaffirmed his faith while intensifying the debate over his future.
