that there is no stopping her. The
Quantico star will play the lead opposite
Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt in
Universal Studio's Cowboy Ninja Viking.
The film is a big-budget tentpole that is
in pre-production. The role was one of
the most highly coveted ones and
Priyanka beat a number of actresses
after a chemistry test with Chris went
extremely well.
Priyanka was supposed to make her
comeback to Bollywood after three years
with Bharat opposite Salman Khan.
However, a couple of days back the
director Ali Abbas Zafar tweeted hinting
at Priyanka's impending marriage with
American singer Nick Jonas and revealed
that PeeCee has walked out of the film.
Now, that the desi girl has taken up a
new Hollywood project we wonder if
this was the real reason for opting out
of Bharat.

The film is directed by Michelle McLaren
of Game of Thrones fame. It is based on
the graphic novel by A.J. Lieberman,
illustrated by Riley Rossmo and is
adapted by Dan Mazeau (Wrath of the
Titans) and Ryan Engle (The Commuter).
Craig Mazin wrote an earlier draft of the
screenplay with an original version by
writer Paul Wernick and Everett David
Reese, who also wrote the screenplay for
Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool.
Its story revolves around a counter-
intelligence unit formed by
psychotherapist Dr. Sebastian Ghislain
who transforms agents known as
Triplets, a reference to multiple
personalities. Pratt is playing the role of a
deadly assassin who has the fighting
skills and personalities of a cowboy, a
ninja, and a Viking.
Cowboy Ninja Viking is being produced
by Guymon Casady and Ben Forkner
alongside Michael De Luca, Mark Gordon,
and Pratt. Sara Scott is also onboard who
is overseeing the film on behalf of the
studio. Universal has revealed that the
film would release on June 28, 2019.
