One unexpected effect of lockdowns due to the Coronavirus Pandemic is that people have found themselves without access to their usual hair care routines. Barbers and stylists are new rare luxury commodities, and no one is feeling the impact of that particular loss more than Hollywood. However, some celebs are actually leaning into their glamour handicap with good fun, showing off new crazy quarantine looks. Hair is the easiest and fastest new ‘wild’ look to show off – and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt is keeping his quarantine look in the franchise. Take a look at Chris Pratt’s new “Quarantine Wolverine” hairdo!

It’s actually surprising what a convincing Wolverine Pratt makes. Not to get too geek-deep into Marvel Comics lore, but the actor actually looks like he’d be a great casting for one of Wolverine’s various family members that have popped up in the comics, or the hero’s nemesis, Sabertooth. Of course, with Pratt already anchoring Guardians of the Galaxy, Jurassic World and the upcoming Tomorrow War, he’s already plenty busy with big movie franchises. Not even Marvel Studios could pull off casting the actor as both Star-Lord and Wolverine.

Right now, everything about Marvel’s plans for the Marvel Cinematic Universe reboot of The X-Men franchise is unknown. We don’t when it’s coming for sure (beyond Phase 4?), and there hasn’t been the slightest hint as to any new casting, save that Ryan Reynolds seems to be holding onto his Deadpool role. The biggest dilemma in front of the franchise is no doubt finding someone to take over the role of Wolverine from Hugh Jackman, who not only defines fans’ entire vision of what live-action Wolverine is, but also helped shape the modern comic book movie genre as a whole.

Ironically enough, it’s been actors of Pratt’s age and (relative) look that Marvel fans seem to be leaning toward for the new Wolverine role. Names like Taron Egerton and even Zac Efron have the shorter, stockier build that Marvel Comics fans associate with Logan (a core aspect of the character that was arguably violated with the casting of the tall, lanky, Jackman.

While Chris Pratt won’t be playing Marvel’s Wolverine, fans are still excited to see him return as Peter Quill / Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. After Disney booted director James Gunn off the project there was panic in the fandom – enough uproar that Disney eventually reversed the decision and brought Gunn back to the helm. So even with that delay – and the delays of the Coronavirus Pandemic, Guardians should be back on track. Pratt also has another major threequel, Jurassic World: Dominion arriving in 2021.
