Chris Pratt has suffered a nasty looking injury after less than a week on the set of his new movie.

The 44-year-old actor, who will voice the titular character in The Garfield Movie next month as well as starring in Netflix’s The Electric State this year, is currently hard at work filming upcoming project Mercy.

He’s set to play a detective trying to prove his innocence after being accused of a violent crime in the sci-fi thriller, which also stars Rebecca Ferguson, and it’s not entirely gone to plan.

Chris shared a couple of photos showing his painful injury, with one snap showing the swelling in his ankle, while another showed him with his leg elevated in his dressing room.

He wrote: ‘Mercy filming day 4. I have such a great stunt team! AND I sometimes try to get in there and do some of my own stuff. Today, daddy caught a metal post to the ankle.

‘Should be interesting moving forward. 🧐’

It’s not known if the injury could impact production plans, or if filming is able to carry on as scheduled, but everyone involved will be hoping Chris is back on his feet quickly.

The intense project comes from a script by Marco Van Belle with Timur Bekmambetov at the helm, and it’s set in a world where crime has skyrocketed.

Chris and Rebecca are joined in an all star cast by the likes of Annabelle Wallis, Kali Reis, Kylie Rogers, Kenneth Choi, Chris Sullivan and Rafi Gavron.

His character’s name is yet to be revealed, but there was a potential clue as he was recently spotted filming scenes in which he arrested another character.

The name ‘Raven’ was sewn into his uniform, which could offer a hint of either his moniker or codename.

He’ll be reunited with Bekmambetov for the first time since playing a small role in 2008 movie Wanted, which hit the big screen just a year before his breakout role as Andy Dwyer in Parks and Recreation.
