Over the past few weeks, Hollywood star Chris Pratt has seemingly been cast in every animated film under the sun. Super Mario, Garfield - where will he pop up next? Well, Xbox struck fear in everyone's hearts recently, when it was claimed the star would be voicing Halo's Mister Chief, the classic mascot created by the former community manager Frank O'Connor.
A Twitter announcement which claimed, "Chris Pratt is now the voice of Mister Chief", sent shockwaves throughout the gaming world last night. Thankfully, a follow-up message revealed it was all a rouse!
This still didn't stop people from quickly panicking at the thought of Chris Pratt claiming yet another role. with many hearts stopping at the shock announcement.
We can relax though. Chris Pratt is not taking over the unofficial mascot of Halo and will remain outside the world of Xbox - for now.
Who knows, maybe we could see Pratt taking the role of Marcus Fenix in a live-action Gears of War movie, or voicing Viva Pinata characters in a new animated series?
Let's hope not.

They should have paid him for a brief Cameo recording of a classic line to sell the joke.
I’d love to see it. Pratt winds up all the right sort of people getting any roles these days.
I do like Chris Pratt movies.I loved Guardians of the Galaxy and Jurassic World the most
He can have his helmet off the entire time, so you know it's Chris Pratt! In fact, no one should wear their iconic headgear at all, just like in the Marvel movies!
That’s just brilliant
What's wrong with Chris Pratt I like him.I think he does a pretty good job in the stuff he is in.
@VisitingComet1 He's bland as heck. He's just Chris Pratt in every role - so much so that people don't even remember the names of his characters in movies like Jurassic World, LEGO Movie or Tomorrow World. He doesn't even cut or dye his hair for different roles to even ATTEMPT to make them a little more unique. He's the guy studios cast less when they have a strong idea of what a character should be like, and more... well, casting a generically likeable guy so as not to offend most people. Him and Ryan Reynolds (with the exception of Deadpool) are the lamest kind of leading men in modern movies... which is why Reynolds ends up voicing a lot of cartoon characters in movies too, like Pikachu and Turbo. Ugh.
He needs a lot more personality, and he should take roles that push him to show off more acting talent. Instead he just lazily takes whatever lets him "Chris Pratt" his way through the role; just be generically likeable and tell some bland, inoffensive jokes and cash a paycheck. Bland is bad, and Chris Pratt is the king of bland.
