Chris Pratt wanted an actual bot to play his AI co-star instead of Dune's Rebecca Ferguson

Chris Pratt as Detective Chris Raven in Mercy.

Some stars would jump at the chance to star opposite Rebecca Ferguson, but Chris Pratt originally considered taking a different route when it came to his latest film, Mercy.

The new futuristic movie, which is led by the MCU and former Jurassic World star, sees Pratt as a police officer accused of murdering his wife. With his life on the line, our hero gets strapped to a chair and interrogated by an artificial intelligence (Ferguson), who will listen to his plea and decide whether he’s guilty or not.
