Rodrigo Vaz/FilmMagicThe return of Power Rangers? Thank Chris Pratt for that!
The Parks and Recreation star has powers like no other. And we're not talking about his upcoming superhero role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. On two separate occasions (that we know off) Pratt has predicted/made magical things happen.
In the season-six finale of Parks and Recreation, Pratt's Andy Dwyer asks Leslie Knope's (Amy Poehler) new National Parks Services boss if he can bring Power Rangers back. "Also, can you bring back Power Rangers? I don't know what it is you do, but you seem important enough to get that done," Pratt's character said.
On May 7, almost two weeks after the finale aired, Saban and Lionsgate announced the revival of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers as a feature film. But wait, there's more.
In a Parks and Recreation season-two DVD extra, Pratt said, "I just got a text message from Steven Spielberg. God, so annoying," He then continued, "Sorry, Steven. I was asked by Parks and Recreation/NBC to do behind the scenes, which is to say, everyone else was asked and said no. But I have no shame as you know by the endless gift baskets. I'll have to get back to you later about Jurassic Park 4. Boom."
Pratt is the lead in the upcoming Jurassic Park sequel Jurassic World. When this was pointed out to him, Pratt responded on Twitter: "F******G CRAZY!!!! WHAAAATTT!!??"
OK, so what other wish would you like Chris Pratt to grant?
