LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As per his IMDb profile, the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor Chris Pratt is 6 ft 2 in (1.88 m/188 cm) tall, which is taller than the average American man, who is 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m/175 cm).

There's a good reason Pratt was chosen to play Peter Quill, dubbed Star-Lord, in the Marvel film series. Pratt not only captures the character's sharp humor but also fits the bill due to his tall build.

At 6 ft 2 in tall, Chris Pratt's height matched his on-screen persona as the self-described commander of the ragtag team of intergalactic superheroes that played a crucial role in the Avengers' mission to defeat Thanos.

Without a doubt, the Earthling/galactic prince Peter Quill actor is not short. However, Pratt is shorter than a few of his fellow actors - whether they are computer-animated or real.



 

Chris Pratt's height compared to other 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actors

Fans are always interested in learning more about the stars outside of the screen, such as their height. This is the case with the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' cast from the MCU.

At 6 ft 2 in, Pratt is obviously shorter than his co-star David Bautista. The former 'Parks & Recreation' star, though, is an inch taller than Chris Evans and one inch shorter than Chris Hemsworth in 'Avengers: Infinity War.'

David Bautista

The tallest 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor is 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m/198 cm) tall, and plays Drax - the irate, sarcastic, and dry-witted character.

Sylvester Stallone

The 'Guardians of the Galaxy' sequel featured the actor in his first MCU outing. Stallone is 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m/178 cm), a few inches shorter than co-star Pratt.

Zoe Saldana

The actress who plays Gamora appears significantly taller on screen than she actually is. Saldana is taller than the average American woman, who is 5 ft 4 in (1.63 m/163 cm), standing at 5 ft 7 in (1.7 m/170 cm).

Kurt Russell

Russell playing Peter Quill's father Ego stands at 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m/180 cm) - a few inches shorter than his on-screen son.

Karen Gillan

Karen Gillan and Matt Smith appeared to communicate well when they were both on 'Doctor Who' because they are of the same height - 5 ft 11 in (1.8 m/180 cm), again a few inches shorter than Pratt.

Pom Klementieff

Klementieff is reportedly the shortest 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor, standing at 5 ft 7 in (1.7 m/170 cm) - much shorter than co-star and actor Pratt.

Is Chris Hemsworth taller than Chris Pratt?

Standing at 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m/191 cm), Chris Hemsworth, being taller than Chris Pratt, has used his stature to great effect as the imposing God of Thunder Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actor was the tallest member of the Avengers and a perfect fit for Thor, owing to his towering presence.

How tall is Katherine Schwarzenegger?

Pratt's wife, author Katherine Schwarzenegger, stands at an impressive height of 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m/173 cm), taller than the average American woman.

Standing beside her husband, Schwarzenegger might need to don a pair of heels as he towers over her at a whopping 6 ft 2 in height.
