The latest: Chris Pratt, 43, took to Instagram on Sunday with a series of behind-the-scenes clips he recorded on the set of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
He also was seen in a tent, panning on collaborators on the special including Dave Bautista, 53, and Bacon, 64.
He shared a shot of Bacon posing with three costumed cast members and a picture of Pom Klementieff, 36, in a green holiday-themed ensemble.
The storyline of the holiday special follows Mantis (Klementieff) and Drax (Bautista) as they journey to Earth to kidnap Bacon as a holiday gift for Quill (Pratt), an ardent fan of the Bacon film Footloose.
Bacon, 64, opened up Friday to Marvel.com about his surreal reaction to seeing the first Guardians of the Galaxy film when it hit theaters in August of 2014.

‘I went to Guardians opening weekend in the afternoon alone and had no idea what was coming,’ Bacon told the outlet. ‘If you can imagine sitting there and hearing Peter start to talk about you when you’re already deeply entrenched in this movie – and not only that, it’s one thing if it was a regular romantic comedy and somebody had made a passing reference, but when it’s an actual other universe, it’s a pretty out-of-body experience.’
Bacon said he told wife Kyra Sedgwick, 57, of the movie: ‘I said, “There’s a little surprise in it, but I’m not going to tell you what it is.”
‘It’s just one of those times when you go, boy, my life is pretty strange sometimes.’

Director James Gunn told Marvel that Bacon is his ‘favorite MCU character’ and that he would ‘be really disappointed’ if Bacon wasn’t cast as an Avenger in the future.
The filmmaker said of the holiday special: ‘When I started writing this and I knew that they were going to go try to get one of Peter Quill’s heroes as a gift, of course, Kevin Bacon was the first person I thought of and the one that’s been mentioned the most.
‘That was something that was a benefit of [the special] from the beginning. I called up Kevin and was like, “Do you want to do this ridiculous thing?” And he just laughs his butt off and agrees was great.’
