Chris Pratt doesn’t have time for “bad attitudes” when making movies.
The Electric State star, 45, revealed on Thursday, Oct. 17 during a New York Comic Con panel for his upcoming Netflix sci-fi film that when an actor has a “bad attitude” while filming, it “ruins everything for everyone.”
While commending his “incredible” costar, Millie Bobby Brown, for her attitude on and off set during the panel, which also featured Electric State directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Pratt shared an aside about what happens when colleagues aren’t as incredible to work with.
“Look, these guys can attest to this, because they’re the same way, like, there’s no room for s—ty attitudes there,” Pratt said. “You can’t have a bad… you can’t have a bad attitude in moviemaking, it ruins everything for everyone, and then you don’t last long.”
“It sucks when people have a crappy attitude. So when you show up on set, there’s no reason why you should… Like, ‘Oh, are you having a hard time living your dream? Is that tough for you today?’ Like, come on and pull your head out,” he continued. “Have fun.”

As Pratt revealed, he and Brown, 20, did indeed have fun on the set of their latest film. Set to premiere on Netflix on March 14, 2025, the Electric State also stars Ke Huy Quan, Jason Alexander, Giancarlo Esposito and Stanley Tucci, as well as the voices of Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie, Brian Cox, Jenny Slate, Hank Azaria, Colman Domingo and Alan Tudyk.
“And she’s just incredible,” Pratt said of Brown. “She was surrounded by all these animals. She’s like, they would yell cut and she’d go to her home and she’s finding a home for, like some pygmy goat to be adopted and organizing a U-Haul full of pit bull puppies to be taken to Indiana. Like she has such a huge heart, such a love for animals.”
“And so we had a great time. We became fast friends, and you can’t get rid of me,” he joked. “Sorry.”
According to Netflix, Electric State sees Brown playing a Michelle, “an orphaned teenager navigating life in a society where sentient robots resembling cartoons and mascots, who once served peacefully among humans, now live in exile following a failed uprising.”
“As they venture into the Exclusion Zone, a walled-off corner in the desert where robots now exist on their own, Keats [Pratt] and Michelle find a strange, colorful group of new animatronic allies — and begin to learn that the forces behind Christopher’s disappearance are more sinister than they ever expected,” the streamer said of the movie, which debuted its first star-studded trailer on Thursday.
The Electric State is based on a graphic novel by Simon Stålenhag and written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. After the film, the Russo Brothers are expected to focus on the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
