Star-Lord's Chris Pratt Jumps From 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' To 'Cowboy Ninja Viking!'

The Parks and Recreation comedian confirms h is planning on starring in another comic book movie. Jumping from Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy (from Marvel Comics), actor Chris Pratt will play a special agent with multiple personalities in Cowboy Ninja Viking (from Image Comics).

On his official Twitter account, the Lego Movie voice actor confirmed he is playing the lead role in the upcoming comic book adaptation.

Pratt posted a meme of a child screaming with huge words that said, "Cowboy Ninja Viking! Cowboy Ninja Viking! Wait. What?"

Pratt tweets, "'@jbkelly80: @prattprattpratt' YES! But who is our director? That is the question. Who do u think it should be?"

According to its plot synopsis, Cowboy Ninja Viking revolves around a counter-intelligence unit of Multiple Personality Disorder patients. Formed by psychotherapist Dr. Sebastian Ghislain, who are transformed into agents known as "Triplets," which is a reference to the three different personalities inside their minds.

After the unit falls apart, various members have turned into hired killers for hire. Duncan channels the skills of the Cowboy, the Ninja, and the Viking, in order to find and stop the rogue Triplets. Though Pratt has signed on to play Duncan, we await to hear further casting announcements.

Collider mentions World War Z director Marc Forster was previously attached to helm the picture but is no longer involved. As fans of the comic book, we're looking forward to to see who replaces the filmmaker.

Not only does Image have Cowboy Ninja Viking in the works, The Walking Dead has become a phenomenal hit on AMC. Another of Robert Kirkman's work, entitled Outcast, is on its way to Cinemax.
