Chris Pratt auditioned for the role of 'Captain America'. Although Finn was convinced that Pratt, 40, was the right man to bring Star-Lord, aka Peter Quill, to life on the big screen she had to convince director James Gunn to let him audition. Finn said: "James Gunn has been very generous about this in saying that I, to the point of annoying him, kept insisting that Chris Pratt was the guy for the part, but Chris didn't want to play the part and refused to audition." She recalled: "I finally got him to audition and James Gunn said he didn't want to see him and that really was a challenge. "Pratt has gone on to portray Star-Lord in two 'Guardians of the Galaxy' films and the last two 'Avengers' blockbusters and will reprise his role as the spaceship captain in a third 'Guardians' flick.
