Although we only recently brought you the news that Baywatch actress Priyanka Chopra was in talks for the female lead role in Cowboy Ninja Viking, reports are coming in that Universal has removed the Image Comics adaption from their 2019 release schedule.

Collider broke the news, which has since been confirmed by the trades.

The reason given for the film being indefinitely delayed is “to accommodate production scheduling,” but THR adds that there have been growing concerns over the script since March.

As things stand, Cowboy Ninja Viking has not been canned and may still get off the ground at some point. Michelle MacLaren remains on board as director, and Chris Pratt is still attached to the lead role of Duncan... for the time being, at least.

Michelle MacLaren has the worst luck I swear. This project didn’t sound all that great to start with tbh.

@regularmovieguy - Wasn't she the one originally lined up to direct Wonder Woman?

@L0RDbuckethead

Yeah, yeah. Great director from what I’ve seen on GoT and B.B. But directing a movie is a whole different animal.

She just hasn’t had great luck.

Seriously, what is she doing with Nick Jonas?

Maybe she was a Jonas Brothers fan, lol.

i want this movie to happen so badly, BUT not with Pratt. I am so sick of seeing him and his one-trick acting. There are other actors out there, people. Just open your eyes! Ugh, so tired of him and his snark. Literally ANYONE ELSE would be acceptable.
