10 Big Movie Franchises Chris Pratt Can Try Next

8. Star Wars Anthology: Boba Fett

If there ever is going to be a Boba Fett movie - and there certainly is an argument to keep him behind the mask as a mysterious second player - then the actor portraying this infamous bounty hunter is going to need to bring a certain charisma and darkness to the role. Perhaps that man is Chris Pratt. 

Hell, if he's talking on Indiana Jones and Star Lord, why not one of the most iconic characters in Star Wars history? His role in Jurassic World certainly looks moodier than some of his other more humour-filled roles; taking on a badass bounty hunter and delivering the man behind the mask might just be the next step. Just ignore why he doesn't look like Temuera Morrison and it will be fine. The answer of course is that he will be playing the Jeremy Bulloch pre-special edition / prequel trilogy version of Boba Fett. It will be a role that proves Chris Pratt can be more than a funny man; his version of Boba will be a grizzled, bitter shell of a man, utterly ruthless and devoid of any sense of empathy or his victims. 

Sound a little too gritty? Perhaps the spin-off could centre around his three-way dalliances with the backing singers in Jabba's palace as seen in Return Of The Jedi. Boba Fett as an hilarious rom-com? No one could see that coming.
