Owen Wilson To Star In Family Action Movie ‘Secret Headquarters’ For Paramount And Bruckheimer Films

Fresh off his first jaunt into the superhero genre, Wilson is looking to stay in the territory. Deadline reports that Wilson is set to star in Paramount Pictures and Bruckheimer Films’ Secret Headquarters, described as a “high-concept family action movie” which follows “a kid who discovers the secret headquarters of the world’s most powerful superhero hidden beneath his home and must defend it with his group of friends when villains attack.”
There are no details yet on who Wilson will be playing.
Secret Headquarters will be helmed by directing duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who recently directed the Netflix 2020 superhero film Project Power, but are best known for helming the 2010 documentary Catfish and several Paranormal Activity sequels. Joost & Schulman, and Josh Koenigsberg are writing the current draft from an original screenplay by Christopher Yost (Thor: Ragnarok, The Mandalorian), who was the sole previous writer on the project. Chad Oman is also producing for Bruckheimer Films.
But after a nearly four-year absence from the big screen, Wilson seems to be in full comeback mode. He’ll next appear opposite Jennifer Lopez in the Universal rom-com Marry Me as well as Wes Anderson’s next film The French Dispatch, and is currently filming a movie called Paint.
While I’m expecting a family action movie like Secret Headquarters to be his next great role, it’ll just be nice to see Wilson and that old crooked nose on our screens again.
