Pringles Super Bowl Commercial 2024: Chris Pratt Grows Mustache to Look Like Mr. P!

Chris Pratt is in a hilarious new Super Bowl campaign!

The 44-year-old Jurassic World actor stars as “Mr. P” in the Pringles commercial, the mascot who has appeared on the Pringles can.

As for the mustache featured in the ad, he told Variety: “I grew it out and shaved down the sides, and it curled up.”

He said his wife, Katharine Schwarzenegger, told him the mustache might be good: “That’s actually a good look for a character. Have you ever played a character with that type of mustache?” he says she asked him. “I kept it. I must have posted something on social media,” he adds.

“There’s a lot going on” in the commercial, he says. “We really love this sort of post-truth theme about living in a world where suddenly someone says, ‘OK, you are Mr. P,’ and that becomes a thing. We did a lot of ad-libs,” he added.

The Richest Avengers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ranked (No. 1's Net Worth is $300 Million!)

Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are familiar with the running debate about who is the strongest Avenger. That’s one of those questions that has a lot of different answers, and we could debate it for weeks. But we’re posing a different question today: Who is the richest member of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes based on their estimated net worth?

Since assembling for the first time in 2012′s The Avengers, the lineup of the team has constantly changed between movies, and it continues to moving into 2024.

Of course, fans know and love the core group – Chris Evans (Captain America), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye). However, so many other favorites have been added on along the way as the original group began to hang up their costumes, seemingly for good.

The cast is made up of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. But who has amassed the largest approximate net worth over the years? We did some digging and put together a ranking from lowest to highest. With a net worth millions higher than the second earner, it’s safe to say that we have a clear winner!

How did we decide who to include as a member of the Avengers? We dubbed anyone who fought with the team in the final battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame a member of the team and added some other notable heroes who didn’t make it that far.
