Skydance Ties Up Global Deal For Chris Pratt & McG Movie ‘Way Of The Warrior Kid’, Marking Biggest Film Market Pact In Years
The film will see a self-doubting kid who gets bullied find his inner warrior with the help of his uncle, an elite Navy SEAL.

David Ellison’s Skydance has an upcoming live-action film slate including Heart of Stone, Spy Kids: Armageddon and The Old Guard 2 for Netflix as well as The Family Plan, The Gorge, Fountain of Youth and Mayday for Apple TV+ and the next Mission: Impossible.
