Chris Pratt and his family are getting ready for Halloween 2026, but choosing costumes has become a moving target. The actor recently revealed that his children keep changing their minds about what they want to wear for the spooky season.
During an interview with E! News alongside his The Terminal List co-star Constance Wu, Pratt opened up about the family’s Halloween preparations. While some costume ideas have already emerged, the final choices are still uncertain.
Chris Pratt Says His Kids Keep Changing Their Halloween Plans
For Pratt, planning Halloween outfits is not as simple as picking a costume and sticking with it. His children regularly dress up at home, making it difficult to know which outfits will ultimately make the cut.
The actor explained that any answer he gives about their final costumes could quickly become outdated because the children frequently change their preferences.
His daughters, Lyla and Eloise, have recently been enjoying matching purple space-themed outfits. The costumes resemble NASA astronauts and feature rockets on their backs.
However, wearing the outfits so often at home has left Pratt wondering whether his daughters will choose something different for Halloween night.
What Costumes Are Chris Pratt’s Children Considering?
Although the final plans remain uncertain, Pratt shared a few details about the family’s current costume ideas.
Lyla and Eloise Love Their Astronaut Outfits
Pratt’s daughters, Lyla and Eloise, have been running around the house dressed as purple space cadets. Their matching astronaut-inspired looks have become a favorite at home.
Still, their father is not convinced that the outfits will be their final Halloween choices. Children can quickly move on to a new favorite, especially when the holiday gives them an excuse to dress up.
Youngest Son Ford Is Planning a Pumpkin Look
Pratt’s youngest son, Ford, has a more seasonal idea in mind. According to the actor, the toddler is planning to dress as a pumpkin.
The orange, autumn-inspired costume would be a fitting choice for Halloween, although the family’s plans could still change before the celebrations.
Jack Is Considering a Seattle SuperSonics Jersey
Pratt’s eldest son, Jack, whom he shares with his former wife Anna Faris, is considering a different kind of look.
Rather than choosing a traditional Halloween character, Jack plans to wear a Seattle SuperSonics basketball jersey. The team relocated and became the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008, making the jersey a nostalgic sports-inspired choice.
The variety of ideas shows that the family is approaching Halloween with different interests, from space adventures and seasonal costumes to basketball nostalgia.
Constance Wu Faces Similar Halloween Costume Challenges
Pratt was not the only parent discussing changing costume preferences during the interview.
His The Terminal List co-star Constance Wu also shared that her children have been switching between different Halloween ideas.
Wu said her young son had expressed interest in dressing as a ghost before suddenly deciding that he wanted to be Bluey, the popular animated blue heeler.
Her daughter, meanwhile, prefers a music-inspired costume over a spooky Halloween character. Wu explained that her daughter loves BLACKPINK and hopes to dress as Rosé, the group’s singer. Finding a platinum-blonde wig is part of the costume plan.
Both actors’ experiences highlight a familiar parenting challenge: children’s Halloween preferences can change right up to the last minute.
Chris Pratt Discusses The Terminal List Season 2
Alongside the Halloween conversation, Pratt discussed his work on The Terminal List, the action thriller in which he plays James Reece.
Season 2 premiered on Prime Video on October 21, 2026, with all eight episodes released together. The new season continues the story of Reece, a Navy SEAL commander navigating dangerous situations and a wider conspiracy.
Pratt explained that the production aims to keep its action grounded in reality rather than portraying its central character as an invincible superhero.
His comments reflect the show’s approach to James Reece: a highly skilled character who can handle difficult situations but remains vulnerable.
The second season draws on Jack Carr’s novel True Believer and expands the story into an international espionage thriller. Viewers can find the season on Prime Video.
A Family-Focused Halloween for Chris Pratt
Although Pratt’s acting projects keep him busy, his interview offered a glimpse into everyday family life.
With astronaut outfits, a possible pumpkin costume and a vintage basketball jersey among the ideas, the family’s Halloween plans reflect the different personalities and interests of its children.
For now, the final costume lineup remains a mystery. As Pratt explained, the children’s preferences can change quickly, meaning the family may need to wait until closer to Halloween to settle on the final looks.
One thing is clear: the costume planning is already underway, even if the final decisions are not yet set.
