Actor Chris Pratt made use of Instagram to give his fans a sneak peek of the movie Mercy that he is shooting. The thing that got the public talking was not just the science fiction nature of the movie – it was the photo that showed off his injured and swollen ankle.
To everyone’s surprise, the marvel star revealed his accident in a post that stated he got injured while shooting a stunt after just a few days into the production period. Rather than the movie, these kinds of posts, together with the recent news about his Marvel reprise, and his family life, really heat up the essential oil of the fans.
The Injury Which Created a Stir
While filming Mercy, Pratt injured his ankle in a stunt that was being shot on set. The star posted a series of selfies on his social media that evidently showed a swollen foot- and also commented it was the 4th day of the film production. He joked about the risks of performing solo stunts although he has a professional stunt team that supports him.
His ankle is not that bad, it is only the reason for a short break in the shooting. Pratt promised that he was perfectly fine, he will definitely come back to work, and he showed that he is optimistic about the film.
What Is Mercy About?
Mercy is a petrifying journey of the future, a sci-fi story about a dystopic reality in which crimes are the main object and the criminality rate is booming. The role of the detective Mercy is the one that Pratt takes on, and in the film, he is unlawfully accused of a capital crime. How the film depicts the topic of surveillance, the theme of injustice, and human filibuster is very intriguing.
The cast is promising, and the movie is directed by Timur Bekmambetov. Amazon MGM Studios is set to release the science fiction movie Mercy on the 23rd of January, 2026.
This movie offers a lot of action and thrives on psychological tension. People who are into Minority Report and Blade Runner would be absolutely satisfied with this and possibly, it would be the one movie about which they would talk about the whole of 2026.

Will Star-Lord Return?
Pratt was also very much in the press when at CinemaCon this year he was asked about his non-appearance in Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday cast list.
Staying true to his nature, Chris Pratt replied in jest about his being left out. However, he did reassure that Star-Lord still has something to say. At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, a post-credits message revealed: “The Legendary Star-Lord Will Return.”
Pratt revealed his close cooperation with Marvel Studios and said “the door is always open” for Star-Lord to participate in future MCU projects.
What’s Next on TV?
In addition to movies, Pratt will also be back on the small screen. He is set to play his role in The Terminal List Season 2 on Amazon Prime Video.
Rumours suggest that the principal photography will kick off this March and continue for a period of at least six months. Season 2 will feature details about conspiracy, revenge and the aftermath of season 1’s cliffhanger.
The audience appreciated Pratt’s change of style in the first season from funny roles to intense roles. The next season of the show is expected to carry the torch.
A Glimpse Into Family Life
When not on set, Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, had a funny and relatable story to share from their Easter celebration. Actor Rob Lowe, a family friend, was the one who went to surprise the kids by dressing up as the Easter Bunny.
However, being grossed out instead of thrilled, the kids ended up weeping. The video was posted on social media by Katherine who wrote, “Easter Bunny got real method this year.”
Pratt had also unreservedly communicated the situation of his children’s health, speaking of his three kids who all got sick at the same time. He described parenting as “the hardest but most rewarding job” with a joke about toddlers being “little petri dishes”.
Chris Pratt is the same person who continues to be a family man and juggles movie projects, at the same time, despite injury on set, he still strives to perfect the shot.
Now that we got Mercy to welcome, The Terminal List is back, and there are talks about Marvel, Pratt is really loaded with work for 2025. His fans will definitely keep an eye on everything that’s happening and also, will be wishing he reads the ‘Don’t Try This at Home’ sign next time.
