No one saw guardians because of him. That movie was his breakout role. They saw it because Marvel and word of mouth.

He just happened to do Jurassic World next which would have done numbers regardless because dinosaurs and it had been 14 years since the last one.

You could say that if guardians was a slow draw like dr strange or a non-draw like fantastic four.
Yet gog, had its draw because of the word of mouth surprise of how good he was in it.

Jurassic piggybacked off his draw from gog which was dually amplified by him and the marvel property machine.

He created, solidified and amplified his draw from gog.
The second influx of domestic box office draw was from his star power being created and being a created real time component from the film.
Which created his draw amplifying Jurassic's draw as well.

you nikkaz trying to dispute his draw and where and how it materialized and lead to another property prospering is hilarious.

Duke is basically the male melissa McCarthy.
who actually lost weight to be jenny McCarthy.
To then retain and amplified his draw from both jenny and mellissa style drawing in better higher drawing blockbusters and properties.

This is like trying to say mark hamil was not created into his own draw from and during a new hope in star wars and then later corvette summer.
Where hamill amplified the current draw from muscle cars on film.
After also creating and amplifying his own draw in star wars and
corvette summer.

Oh girl in star wars rogue one is Hollywood's way of using connecting market base formula.
Of taking a look alike cast member from parks and rec like Pratt, and then using the white doppelganger of Quincy jones daughter with even a similar last name. In a Sci FI role since they know Sci FI usually has a disconnect.

That bicep-less mouse and its ability to find stars.
that look like others from their Mickey mouse club generation casting playbook is on full display if people peeped it.

I think it was Zero Dark Thirty that changed people's image of him. He showed he could be that physically fit serious lead. It's almost like he was faking his fatness on Parks n Recs:patrice:
He was skinny before Parks n Recs. His weight fluctuates but he started out in Hollywood as the skinny attractive white guy. I'm pretty sure he was a model before he got fat. He mentioned doing it on purpose because he was getting typed cast as pretty boy douche bags.

Would rather have him pushed than Taylor Kitsch, who was majorly pushed and flopped at every turn. (Although he was cool as Riggins in FNL)
