Title: Amazon's Second Chance Gifts Cinemagoers Chris Pratt in 2026

Listen up, folks! If you've been yearning for some Chris Pratt action on the big screen, sans the CGI or kitties, then mark your calendars for January 23, 2026. That's when his next flick, titled "Mercy," is slated to hit cinemas.

Originally, Amazon had planned to drop "Mercy" on August 15, 2025. But, as fate would have it, they've decided to give it a bit of a twist and move it to a later date. Fret not, though, as the new release date grants the movie its well-deserved spotlight, all by its lonesome, albeit only a week after a few other films make their debut.

Directed by the visionary Timur Bekmambetov, known for his work on "Wanted" and "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," "Mercy" is sure to deliver an exhilarating ride. In this near-future thriller, Pratt portrays a detective who finds himself accused of a heinous crime and forced to clear his name before the law catches up to him. The supporting cast is nothing short of stellar, boasting the talents of Rebecca Ferguson, Kali Reis, Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, Kenneth Choi, and a few other familiar faces.

Now, if waiting until 2026 feels like an eternity, don't worry. Chris Pratt is set to star in another project, entitled "The Electric State," which is set to stream on March 14, 2025, on Netflix.
