Joel Edgerton Reflects on Not Landing Star-Lord Role in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'

Actor Joel Edgerton discusses his audition process and realization that he was not the right fit for the Marvel character.

Edgerton admits he struggled to grasp the comedic-action tone of 'Guardians of the Galaxy', which affected his audition.
Chris Pratt, who ultimately secured the role of Star-Lord, had also faced multiple rejections from Marvel before his casting.
Edgerton believes the casting outcome was for the best, stating the world is better off with Pratt as Star-Lord.
The role of Star-Lord was highly contested, with actors like Eddie Redmayne and Glenn Howerton also auditioning.
Despite not joining the Marvel universe, Edgerton continues to explore diverse roles, including his current series on Apple TV+.
