Chris Pratt's Star-Lord Replacement Officially Gives Prime Video Its Next Shared Universe

Chris Pratt is poised to anchor a new interconnected franchise on Prime Video, expanding beyond his role as Star-Lord in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The catalyst is The Terminal List, his 2022 action thriller series based on Jack Carr's novel, which became one of the platform's top-performing original series. Prime Video has officially greenlit a prequel series centered on Pratt's character, Navy SEAL James Reece, along with a broader universe of interconnected shows. This move signals Amazon's aggressive push into building a shared universe to rival competitors, leveraging Pratt's star power and the proven appeal of military-themed drama. The expansion includes multiple projects in development, with Carr's literary universe providing a rich source of storylines. For viewers, this means more high-stakes action and character-driven storytelling, while for Amazon, it's a strategic bet on franchise-building in the streaming wars. With production timelines yet to be announced, the next chapter for Reece and his world is set to unfold on Prime Video.
