Chris Pratt Starring in 'Cowboy Ninja Viking'

Chris Pratt is a fast rising name at the moment, with the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, starring in Jurassic World, and Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on the way, the actor is becoming no stranger to big franchise films, but that doesn't mean that there isn't room for more. The actor is reportedly now attached to star in Universal's movie adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboy Ninja Viking.

Collider reported on Chris Pratt being set to star in Cowboy Ninja Viking. The story follows a characters named Duncan, who participates in a secret government program that transforms Multiple Personality Disorder patients know as Triplets (for their three personalities) into assassins. Duncan escapes from the program and uses his skills to go on the hunt for the billionaire behind the entire program, accompanied by his three assassin personalities of a Cowboy, a Ninja, and a Viking. According to the report, the latest version of the script will see the three different personalities physically manifest onscreen, but to regular people he will still be seen as Duncan, but points out that this is all subject to change when a director gets attached to the film. The report also points out that even though the film is without a director, with Pratt attached to star a number of people will probably show interest.

I had no idea of the existence of this graphic novel or that it was getting a film adaptation, but after hearing about it this sounds like something that would be incredibly fun to watch. An assassin not only with Multiple Personality Disorder, but with the personalities of a Cowboy, a Ninja and a Viking, I need not say more. Add on top of the that the personality and comedic timing of Chris Pratt and you can take my money, this sounds like the perfect film and role for him. I also very much like the idea of the personalities physically manifesting and being played by different actors, I feel that doing that way would better show contrast and conflict between those personalities. Anyway, this project sounds great, and with Chris Pratt even better, I hope to hear more about it soon.
