Arnold Schwarzenegger has opened up about the chance of starring alongside his son Patrick Schwarzenegger and son-in-law Chris Pratt in a film project, mentioning that a Chris Pratt and Schwarzenegger family movie collaboration could happen under the right circumstances. Speaking during the season 2 premiere of his Netflix series FUBAR in California on June 11, Schwarzenegger explained that his involvement would depend on a key factor.
Strong Script Needed for Family On-Screen Pairing
The former Governor of California made it clear that the idea of creating a movie with both Patrick and Chris is appealing, but only if the foundation is solid.
“It’s one of those things that if there’s a great script, then of course, we would do it,”
—Arnold Schwarzenegger, Actor and Former Governor of California, told E! News. He emphasized the importance of quality storytelling by adding,
“But you can’t just make up this stuff. You can’t just say, ‘OK, let’s just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script.’”

“You don’t have to talk about it, just do it.”

The Significance of a Collaboration
While Chris Pratt, Katherine Schwarzenegger, and Patrick Schwarzenegger continue to attract attention separately, a collaboration featuring this prominent family would generate significant excitement in Hollywood.
