Chris Pratt has been on a roll lately, what with The LEGO Movie, Guardians of the Galaxy and of course next year’s Jurassic World, and now Collider is reporting that he’s added another comic book movie to his upcoming slate, signing on to star in an adaptation of Image Comics’ Cowboy Ninja Viking.
According to the site, Pratt will play Duncan, “a result of a counter-intelligence program made up of Multiple Personality Disorder patients who are transformed into agents known as Triplets, so-called for their three different personalities (hence the title). Duncan subsequently escapes and uses his skills to track down the billionaire who masterminded the program. We’re told that per the latest draft of the script, the three different personalities (the Cowboy, the Ninja, and the Viking) physically manifest onscreen as three different people when Duncan switches personas, but to onlookers he still just looks like Duncan (ie. Pratt).”
Cowboy Ninja Viking was created by writer A.J. Lieberman and artist Riley Rossmo and was previously in development at Disney before being picked up by Universal.
