Chris Pratt signed onto Cowboy Ninja Viking back in November 2014, sticking with the project through thick and thin, including this delay.
Although Baywatch’s Priyanka Chopra was officially cast as Cowboy Ninja Viking’s female lead late last month, the Collider report notes that while Chopra is still Universal’s first choice for the role following this delay, whether she’ll still be involved will depend on how her schedule matches up with when the new production is scheduled.
Wrath of the Titans’ Dan Mazeau and Rampage’s Ryan Engle wrote the most recent draft of the script.
Just like the original comic book story, the Cowboy Ninja Viking movie will follow an assassin named Duncan who is able to manifest the personalities of, you guessed it, a cowboy, ninja and viking while out in the field.
