Some Marvel fans voiced frustration online, with a few calling for him to be removed from future projects. Kirk, 30, co-founder of Turning Point USA, died on September 10 during an event at Utah Valley University, an incident that drew national attention and tributes from across the political spectrum.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities later identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson as the suspect, who is now in custody facing multiple charges. Prosecutors have indicated they may seek the maximum penalty available under Utah law. Kirk\u2019s wife, Erika, and their two young children have received an outpouring of public sympathy and support in the days since.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the news, Pratt posted on X: \u201cPraying for Charlie Kirk right now, for his wife and young children, for our country. We need God\u2019s grace. God help us.\u201d The message sparked mixed reactions\u2014critics accused him of aligning with Kirk\u2019s politics, while supporters defended his right to share condolences. Within hours, hashtags calling for Pratt to be dropped from Marvel began trending.<\/p>\n<p>Pratt later posted a video encouraging followers to pray, connect with loved ones, and spend less time on their phones. That message, too, drew a divided response, reflecting the broader polarization surrounding the situation. Industry analysts believe the controversy is unlikely to affect Pratt\u2019s future with Marvel, pointing to his consistent box-office performance and loyal fan base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Pratt has spoken out after facing criticism for his comments following the passing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
