Admit it, it still kind of makes you think of Andy from ‘Parks and Recreation’ when you see Chris Pratt in his role as a Marvel character in the recent ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ movie. It turns out that we all might have been close to thinking of a different character from a different beloved comedy show.

Glenn Howerton, the character who plays Dennis on ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,’ recently told reporters that he was seriously considered for Pratt’s role in the movie. From splitsider.com:

"“I did audition recently for Guardians of the Galaxy, to play the role Chris Pratt is playing. And I know the director of that movie is supposedly a big Sunny fan, which is cool.” That’s not the only superhero role Howerton’s been up for. He explained, “I think ten years ago I auditioned for the Superman reboot [2006’s Superman Returns].” Howerton added that he prefers playing villainous roles, saying, “Something like The Riddler would definitely feel like it was in my wheelhouse.”"

Dennis from ‘It’s Always Sunny’ as a villain? I’m not sure I’m there yet, but let’s go ahead and give him a shot to prove me wrong.
