Chris Pratt already has a character in mind that he wants Arnold Schwarzenegger to play in The Terminal List. The actor has starred alongside several notable actors, including Robert Downey Jr. in the Avengers films and Denzel Washington in The Magnificent Seven. However, he has yet to share the screen with his father-in-law.

As Pratt continues to move forward with his action thriller series, The Terminal List, the actor has some exciting plans to bring Schwarzenegger on screen alongside him.

Chris Pratt, in his interview with Screen Rant, was asked about his previous comment about getting Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in The Terminal List. The actor shared that he still has the same plan and has even selected a character that Schwarzenegger could take on in the series. However, he refused to share more details, since readers would easily figure out which character he was referring to.

“I've discussed it with him. And should we be blessed and honored to be able to get that book into production? There's no one else I would want to do it. And if he were available and willing, man, that would be 100% epic."

While Pratt has figured out which character Schwarzenegger could play, as he shared in the interview, there is still one hurdle. The Terminal List series is based on Jack Carr's James Reece novels, and two of the books have been adapted so far. The second season of the series has just landed on Amazon Prime Video.

However, Pratt has not revealed the name of the book that features the character that Schwarzenegger could play, leaving a big question about whether the series will get the green light to adapt the remaining novels. There are five novels in the series, with an eighth book scheduled for release next year. So, while Schwarzenegger starring alongside Pratt is an interesting possibility, making it happen could still be a challenge.

In a conversation with E! News, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed that he is interested in starring alongside his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger in a project. He also mentioned his son-in-law, Chris Pratt, who is married to his daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger. However, he has one condition that must be fulfilled.

"It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it," He told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi during the Fubar season two premiere with Netflix Tudum.
