When Star-Lord goes into battle with Captain America, everyone wins.
Chris Pratt, the Seahawks-loving actor who played Star-Lord in “Guardians of the Galaxy,†and Chris Evans, a Patriots fan who played Captain America, decided to honor both ends of their Super Bowl bet.
The bet called for the loser to visit a children’s hospital in the rival’s city, wearing the winning team’s paraphernalia over his superhero getup. Following the Patriot’s win Sunday night, Pratt gracefully admitted defeat on Twitter, indicating he’d soon be in Boston, where he’ll presumably wear a Tom Brady jersey while visiting families whose children are fighting cancer:
Congrats to the world champions @patriots you were the better team tonight. I will be visiting @chris_haven as Starlord. #twitterbowl

Evans soon chimed in, first thanking Pratt for “being a good sport,†then announcing the pair would visit Seattle Children’s Hospital, too:
Thank you to @prattprattpratt for being a good sport. I’ll be there with you at @chris_haven, and don’t worry @seattlechildren, we’ll be

Despite their sports rivalry, Pratt and Evens even watched the big game together, attending in person:
