Kumail Nanjiani, Chris Pratt and John Krasinski represent a "Twilight of the Shlubs" for former sitcom actors

The New York Times

When Silicon Valley star Nanjiani muscled up for Marvel's The Eternals, "he joined a select crew that includes John Krasinski and Chris Pratt," says Jonah Engel Bromwich of The Office alum and Parks and Recreation alum. "Those two actors were introduced to America as men of average musculature through office sitcoms; they are now covered in all kind of inflated ’ceps. Superhero franchises and the like have sucked in all three schlubs and many more besides, and made them mighty. Even everymen are now supermen. With enough time and money, any man can meet the impossible standards of Hollywood, Mr. Nanjiani noted. (Nearly everything about this experience is specific to men.)"
