One of the most hotly-anticipated movies of next year is the Chris Pratt-headlined big-screen adaptation of Cowboy Ninja Viking. And now, Universal Pictures has confirmed who’ll be directing this 2019 effort.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, Michelle MacLaren – best known to genre fans for her work on the likes of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, not to mention being the original pick to direct Wonder Woman before leaving the project over creative issues – has been tasked with helming what has the potential to be brilliantly bonkers in all the right ways. MacLaren reportedly beat Dope’s Rick Famuyiwa and Kung Fun Panda’s Jennifer Yuh Nelson for the gig.

The early blurb on the Cowboy Ninja Viking picture reads:

Chris Pratt will star a a new kind of assassin who manifests the toughest skills of three different personas: COWBOY NINJA VIKING. The hard-edged actioner laced with attitude is based on the Image Comics graphic novel by AJ Lieberman and illustrator Riley Rossmo.

At present, Cowboy Ninja Viking is set for a June 28th, 2019 release.
