Chris Pratthas been replaced in the upcoming season of Amazon’s hit crime thriller, which allows one underratedTrue Detectiveactor to get the attention he deserves. Best known for his portrayal of Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Chris Pratt is now a household name with several massive movie projects under his belt.
However, during the early years of his acting career, the actor primarily played roles in severaltelevision shows, likeThe O.C.,Everwood, andThe Huntress. The actor garnered a more mainstream appeal with his recurring part as Andy inParks and Recreation, which paved the way for him to land some of his biggest movie roles.
Despite having an abundance of movie projects, Pratt returned to television with a hit Amazon Prime Video show. The show’s success paved the way for it to return for another season, but the new installment does not have Pratt as its lead. Instead, the actor has been replaced by aTrue Detectivestar, who has remained underrated for quite some time.
Taylor Kitsch’s Ben Edwards Is The Protagonist In The Terminal List Season 2
He Was Among The Secondary Protagonists In Season 1
InThe Terminal Listseason 1, Chris Pratt’s James Sullivan Reecewas portrayed as the main character. Meanwhile, Taylor Kitsch’s Ben Edwards was more of a side character, introduced as one of Reece’s closest friends from the Navy SEALs. The Prime Video show’s season 2, titledThe Terminal List: Dark Wolf, is significantly changing how it shows season 1’s characters.
As the show’s trailer and story suggest, Chris Pratt will have a significantly smaller role in the upcoming installment, whileTaylor Kitsch will be promoted to become the main lead in the series. Season 2’s narrative will primarily revolve around Kitsch’s Ben Edwards, walking viewers through his journey from Navy SEAL to CIA operative.
Taylor Kitsch seems to be his perfect replacement in the show’s second installment because of how brilliantly he captured Ben Edwards in season 1 and made him a memorable character.
Given how Chris Pratt has many movie projects lined up, it makes sense that he will not be able to leadThe Terminal Listseason 2. Taylor Kitsch seems to be his perfect replacement in the show’s second installment because of how brilliantly he captured Ben Edwards in season 1 and made him a memorable character.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Could Finally End One Taylor Kitsch Career Trend
Despite Being Talented, Kitsch Hasn’t Found A Major Breakout Role
Taylor Kitsch has had a long line of work in both movies and television, proving how much potential he has as a versatile actor. However, despite starring in several mainstream high-budget flicks and popular shows,the actor has not had any major breakthroughs since the early years of his career.
2012’sJohn Carterwas supposed to give him his big break, but the movie failed to leave its mark at the box office. Similarly,Battleshiphad the potential to help him gain the reputation of a worthy leading man, but it underperformed both critically and commercially. Kitsch was also cast inTrue Detectiveseason 2, which, unfortunately, is considered the weakest installment in the hit HBO original series.
The Terminal Listseason 1 was not received too well by critics, but its audience reviews established it was a hit among viewers. If theChris PrattAmazon show’s season 2 even comes close to matching season 1’s success, Taylor Kitsch could have a major career resurgence and get the appreciation he has always deserved as an actor.
