Universal Offers ‘John Wick’ Directors ‘COWBOY NINJA VIKING’ Starring CHRIS PRATT

By Christopher M

Variety reports that Universal has enlisted John Wick co-directors David Leitch and Chad Stahelski to helm their adaptation of the comic book Cowboy Ninja Viking.

The comic book film already has Chris Pratt (Guardians of The Galaxy, Jurassic World) attached to star with a script from Zombieland and Deadpool screenwriters Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese.

A man who suffers from multiple personality disorder and is put into a government program to be turned into a super-soldier with the attributes of a cowboy, a ninja and a viking.

It’s been said that Pratt would play the character outside the persona, with other action leads taking the roles of the three personalities.

I’m a bit upset we’re not getting a Wick sequel quickly put together but the directing duo founding the stunt company 87Eleven means the action will be top notch.
