Chris Pratt Responds After Fan Criticism
Chris Pratt Faces Backlash Over Charlie Kirk Tribute
Chris Pratt drew criticism after posting condolences following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 30,
who died on September 10 during an event at Utah Valley University.
Authorities have charged 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the incident.
On X, Pratt wrote: “Praying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country.
We need God’s grace.
God help us.” While some praised his compassion, others accused him of aligning with Kirk’s politics.
Hashtags demanding Pratt’s removal from Marvel projects trended soon after.
Pratt later shared a video urging people to pray, cherish loved ones, and spend less time on their phones.
That message also split audiences, reflecting the wider polarization around Kirk’s legacy.
Industry insiders, however, say the controversy is unlikely to impact Pratt’s role in future Marvel films,
citing his strong box-office track record and dedicated fan base.
