Glen Powell credits Chris Pratt's Marvel role for changing Hollywood

"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."

"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."

"Actor Glen Powell has claimed that Chris Pratt's performance in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy helped to change expectations for Hollywood leading men. The 36-year-old, best known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You, was known mostly for supporting roles when Guardians of the Galaxy, in which he stars as space adventurer Peter Quill, was released in 2014."

The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and solicits donations to fund journalists while keeping reporting free of paywalls. The outlet cites investigations into Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights as examples of its work. Actor Glen Powell said Chris Pratt's 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy performance shifted expectations for Hollywood leading men away from brooding roles toward more playful, buoyant portrayals, and credited that change with influencing his own sense of acting fit.
