Chris Pratt has built one of Hollywood’s most recognizable movie careers, moving from small supporting parts to major roles in blockbuster franchises and animated hits. His film career began with the 2003 action movie The Extreme Team, following an earlier appearance in the short film Cursed Part 3. He gradually became better known through films such as Moneyball, Zero Dark Thirty, and Her before his breakthrough as Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. Pratt later became a major face of the Jurassic World franchise as dinosaur trainer Owen Grady while also developing a successful voice-acting career through The LEGO Movie, Onward, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and The Garfield Movie. As of 2026, his released filmography spans action, comedy, science fiction, superhero, drama, western, and animated movies, with Mercy and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie among his latest released feature films.
2000 — Cursed Part 3
Cursed Part 3 was a short horror-comedy film released in 2000 and represents one of Chris Pratt’s earliest screen appearances. Pratt played Devon in the project, which was directed by Rae Dawn Chong. Although it was not a feature-length theatrical movie, it is notable because it marked Pratt’s entry into film acting before his television breakthrough in Everwood. Because it is a short film rather than a standard feature, it is identified separately here.
2003 — The Extreme Team
The Extreme Team was released in 2003 and is officially regarded as Chris Pratt’s feature-film debut. Directed by Leslie Libman, the action movie follows a group of extreme-sports athletes recruited for a dangerous Black Ops rescue mission in New Zealand. Pratt played Keenan, appearing alongside Jeremy Kewley, Eric Mabius, and Bai Ling. The movie is especially important in Chris Pratt movies by year because it marks the beginning of his feature-film career.
2005 — Strangers with Candy
In 2005, Pratt appeared in Strangers with Candy, a comedy prequel to the television series of the same name. Directed by Paul Dinello and starring Amy Sedaris, the movie follows Jerri Blank as she returns to high school later in life and attempts to rebuild her future. Pratt played Brason in a supporting role alongside Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, and other members of the ensemble. The film gave the young actor an opportunity to work in an offbeat ensemble comedy before his larger supporting roles arrived.
2007 — Walk the Talk
Walk the Talk arrived in 2007 as a comedy-drama directed and written by Matthew Allen. The story centers on motivational speaker Erik Naybor, played by Cary Elwes, whose apparently perfect family life hides deeper problems. Pratt played Cam, Erik’s athletic and seemingly ideal son, alongside Evan Ellingson, Illeana Douglas, and Katie Cassidy. The movie is a relatively small early entry in Chris Pratt movies by year, but it helped expand his film credits beyond comedy cameos and minor appearances.
2008 — Wieners
In 2008, Pratt appeared in the road comedy Wieners, playing Bobby. Directed by Mark Steilen, the movie follows three friends who embark on a cross-country trip in a Wiener Wagon after becoming angry with a controversial television therapist. The film stars Kenan Thompson, Fran Kranz, and Zachary Levi, with Pratt contributing to its ensemble comedy cast. It was another early comedic role before Pratt began taking on more substantial dramatic and action parts.
2008 — Wanted
Later in 2008, Pratt appeared in the action thriller Wanted, directed by Timur Bekmambetov and starring James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, and Morgan Freeman. Pratt played Barry, the unfaithful best friend and co-worker of McAvoy’s character, Wesley Gibson. The film follows an ordinary office worker who discovers that he comes from a family of professional assassins and possesses extraordinary abilities. Wanted was an important early Hollywood action credit for Pratt and placed him in a major studio production.
2009 — Bride Wars
Bride Wars was released in 2009 as a romantic comedy directed by Gary Winick. Pratt played Fletcher Flemson, the fiancé of Liv Lerner, portrayed by Kate Hudson, in a story about two lifelong friends whose weddings are accidentally scheduled for the same date. The film also starred Anne Hathaway, and Pratt’s role was part of the ensemble surrounding the two central characters. It demonstrated his growing presence in mainstream studio comedies.
2009 — Deep in the Valley
Also in 2009, Pratt starred in the comedy Deep in the Valley as Lester Watts. The film follows two friends who mysteriously enter an alternate world resembling an adult-themed version of classic 1950s television, leading to a series of comedic situations. Pratt appeared alongside Brendan Hines, Scott Caan, and Rachel Specter. Although the movie was considerably smaller than his later studio productions, it remains part of his early feature-film work.
2009 — Jennifer’s Body
Pratt also appeared in the 2009 horror comedy Jennifer’s Body, written by Diablo Cody and directed by Karyn Kusama. He played Officer Roman Duda, a supporting character in the story about a possessed high-school student played by Megan Fox. The movie also starred Amanda Seyfried and J. K. Simmons and combined supernatural horror with dark comedy. Pratt’s brief appearance added another genre to his growing collection of early film credits.
2011 — Take Me Home Tonight
Take Me Home Tonight was released in 2011 as a romantic comedy set during the late 1980s. Pratt played Kyle Masterson, one of the supporting characters in the ensemble led by Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler, and Teresa Palmer. Directed by Michael Dowse, the film follows a group of young adults navigating relationships, ambition, and partying during one eventful night. The role came during a period when Pratt was beginning to move toward more prominent movie work.
2011 — Moneyball
One of the most important early entries in Chris Pratt movies by year came with Moneyball, Bennett Miller’s acclaimed baseball drama. Pratt played professional baseball player Scott Hatteberg, who is recruited by the Oakland Athletics and asked to reinvent himself as a first baseman. The film starred Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill and was based on the real-life attempt by the Athletics to build a competitive team through data-driven player evaluation. Pratt’s performance showed a more dramatic side of his acting and helped raise his profile considerably.
2011 — What’s Your Number?
In What’s Your Number?, Pratt played Disgusting Donald, a supporting character in the romantic comedy starring Anna Faris and Chris Evans. Directed by Mark Mylod, the movie follows a woman who becomes concerned about her romantic history and revisits former partners while searching for a lasting relationship.

The film further connected him with the mainstream romantic-comedy genre before his later transformation into an action star.
2011 — 10 Years
10 Years was a 2011 ensemble comedy-drama directed by Jamie Linden. Pratt played Cully, a former high-school bully who attends a class reunion and confronts the people and memories connected to his past.

2012 — The Five-Year Engagement
In 2012, Pratt appeared in The Five-Year Engagement, a romantic comedy directed by Nicholas Stoller and starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. Pratt played Alex Eilhauer, a friend whose relationship with Violet’s sister Suzie develops alongside the central couple’s increasingly complicated engagement.

2012 — Zero Dark Thirty
Pratt took a more serious turn in Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow’s acclaimed historical thriller about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. He portrayed Justin Lenihan, a member of the U.S. Navy SEAL team involved in the operation depicted near the film’s conclusion. Jessica Chastain led the cast as CIA intelligence officer Maya, while the film combined political thriller elements with military drama. The role was especially notable because Pratt underwent a significant physical transformation as he prepared for his later action-oriented career.
2013 — Movie 43
Movie 43 was released in 2013 as an anthology comedy featuring numerous interconnected and standalone segments. Pratt appeared in the segment “The Proposition” as Doug, sharing the screen with Anna Faris.

Pratt’s appearance was relatively brief, but it remains an officially released feature-film credit.
2013 — Delivery Man
In Delivery Man, Pratt played Brett, a supporting character in the comedy-drama directed by Ken Scott. The movie stars Vince Vaughn as a man who discovers that a fertility-clinic mistake made him the biological father of hundreds of children.

He played Paul, a co-worker of Joaquin Phoenix’s Theodore Twombly, whose relationship with an advanced artificial intelligence forms the center of the story.

2014 — The LEGO Movie
2014 marked a major turning point in Chris Pratt movies by year with The LEGO Movie. Pratt voiced Emmet Brickowski, an ordinary LEGO construction worker who becomes unexpectedly important in a battle against an authoritarian villain.

2015 — Jem and the Holograms
Pratt made a cameo as himself in Jem and the Holograms, a 2015 musical drama directed by Jon M. Chu. The film was inspired by the 1980s animated television series and follows a young musician who becomes an unexpected pop sensation.

Pratt played Josh Farraday, a gambler and skilled gunslinger who joins a group of hired fighters defending a small town from a ruthless industrialist.

Other Non-Standard Film and Screen Appearances
2012 — On the Mat
On the Mat was a documentary rather than a conventional narrative feature, with Pratt serving as narrator and executive producer. The film focuses on wrestling and is therefore best separated from his standard acting credits. Pratt did not portray a fictional character in the documentary.
2018 — Emmet’s Holiday Party
Emmet’s Holiday Party was a short animated special connected to The LEGO Movie franchise. Pratt returned as the voice of Emmet Brickowski, making this a short-form voice appearance rather than a standard feature film.

2021 — Alaskan Nets
Alaskan Nets is a sports documentary associated with Pratt as an executive producer rather than as an on-screen acting performer. The documentary focuses on basketball and community life in Alaska. Because Pratt’s contribution was behind the scenes, it is not counted as a conventional acting entry in his movie career.
2023 — Helen: Believe
Helen: Believe is a documentary project on which Pratt was credited as a producer rather than as an actor. It is therefore part of his broader film-production work but not a standard Chris Pratt acting role. This distinction is important when compiling an accurate filmography.
2024 — Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain’s Journey
Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain’s Journey is another documentary associated with Pratt as an executive producer. He did not portray a fictional character in the project, so it is separate from his feature-film acting credits. Its inclusion highlights the expansion of Pratt’s career into film production.
2026 — Way of the Warrior Kid — Not Yet Released
Way of the Warrior Kid is not included in the main released-film chronology because it has not been released as of August 17, 2026. Apple has announced a November 25, 2026 release date, with Pratt starring as Uncle Jake, an injured Navy SEAL who mentors his nephew Marc. The film is directed by McG and also stars Jude Hill and Linda Cardellini. It is therefore an upcoming movie rather than part of Pratt’s released filmography at the current date.
