After the top grosser of 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy and one of 2015's highly anticipated Jurassic World, Chris Pratt has confirmed via his official twitter account that he is set to star in the film adaptation of Cowboy Ninja Viking. His post included a picture of the said movie along with the words " YES! But who is our director? That is the question. Who do u think it should be?"
Collider has reported that 35-year old Pratt will play Duncan, the main character of the said graphic novel by A.J. Lieberman and Riley Rossmo. Duncan, a highly trained assassin by a black ops group, has a multiple personality disorder, and has the ability to shift identities, as the film's title suggests, into a cowboy, a ninja, and a viking, and having all the skills of each character. The plot thickens when this group of patients having multiple personality disorders, disperses and the rest go shady with their dealings, and Duncan was commissioned to hunt them all down.
The initial script written Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who also wrote Zombieland, was not approved by Disney because it was reportedly "too edgy" but thanks to Universal, the movie is all set to happen. However, as Pratt has recently tweeted, they are still looking for a director who would helm the film. It is also not certain whether Pratt will play all three characters of a cowboy, ninja and viking, including Duncan himself. It will definitely be a challenge for the Guardians of the Galaxy actor to get into all 4 characters in 1 movie, but this is also another opportunity to show off his acting prowess in a totally different level. In that aspect alone, Cowboy Ninja Viking is already promising enough to watch out for.
