Priyanka Chopra Nabs Female Lead Opposite Chris Pratt in 'Cowboy Ninja Viking'

Priyanka Chopra has landed the female lead opposite Chris Pratt in Universal's Cowboy Ninja Viking.

The Quantico star will play the love interest of Pratt in the big-budget tentpole that is in preproduction.

The film is being directed by Michelle MacLaren (Game of Thrones) from a screenplay by Dan Mazeau, Ryan Engle, Craig Mazin, Paul Wernick and David Reese. Based on the Image Comics graphic novel by A.J. Lieberman and illustrator Riley Rossmo, the story revolves around a counter-intelligence unit formed by psychotherapist Dr. Sebastian Ghislain (Pratt) who transforms agents known as Triplets, a reference to multiple personalities.

Guymon Casady and Ben Forkner are producing alongside Michael De Luca, Mark Gordon and Pratt. Sara Scott will oversee Cowboy Ninja Viking on behalf of the studio.

Universal has carved out a June 28, 2019, release date for the film.

Chopra most recently appeared in the Sundance drama A Kid Like Jake opposite Jim Parsons and Claire Danes and the Dwayne Johnson starrer Baywatch. She is repped by WME.

Woohoo! A step up the ladder 👏

She is really something. She made up an engagement excuse to get out of Bharat and once her contract was voided to let her have a happy wedding/life, she allowed news of her next movie to come out. There's no way AAZ would have tweeted about Nick if he didn't hear it from her especially if he was going to end up looking stupid within two days anyway.

Sounds like another 12k grosser. Will likely go the American Ultra way. 

There we go. I knew it wasn't Nick Jonas related!

Priyanka and Chris follow each other on Instagram since May. I'm sure Priyanka must've gave Ali some notice, no way he finalized Katrina in a day. Ali has been using "Nick of time pun for attention, Nick has nothing to do with it. Being engaged would never stop Priyanka from working, I'm sure Ali knows that too because she shot Gunday only a couple days after her dad died.

The funniest part was Roy Kapur Films posted this The Sky Is Pink BTS video right when all the chaos was going on, like they were rubbing in that Priyanka is still doing it: https://www.instagram.com/p/BluMBNRHSCD/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1qgcxlhwddk9z

Desi Michael Jackson 👏

Film will be flop for sure now that Priyanka has joined, hopefully they hire someone good opposite Pratt and Priyanka as some ex wife or something

WOW...now I feel second hand embarrassment for Salman...she left the movie for a HW project???😕

Invisible alert
