Actor Mark Wahlberg will embark on a space odyssey in the new science fiction film from the streaming platform Netflix.
Mark Wahlberg plans to return to science fiction with Cosmic Odyssey, a Netflix original space epic. The film will be directed by Brad Peyton (Rampage and Daybreak), known for his collaborations with Dwayne Johnson and that Atlas has just released on the streaming platform.
Wahlberg will play Captain Alex Volkov, commander of the Solaris Nexus spaceship. His mission: find a new home for humanity. Along the way, they will face mysterious alien civilizations that will complicate their journey. Nothing new, but it is speculated that the budget will be brutal, so it will be one of Netflix's most impressive productions in the coming years.
An unexplored territory for the actor.
While science fiction hasn't been the most successful genre for Wahlberg, with flops like “Planet of the Apes” and “Infinite,” Cosmic Odyssey could be his redemption. Unlike his Transformers movies, this is an original offering without the pressure of an existing franchise. Other interesting projects in which we will see the actor are Untitled Mark Wahlberg's Unrealistic Ideas Project about Owen Hanson, a former USC football player who became a drug lord. The Six Billion Dollar Man where he will play a man who loses parts of his body that are replaced by technology and becomes a government agent. In addition, we will also see him in The Roman, which will show the origin story of Julius Caesar that imagines the future dictator as a young general of the Roman army in a period of his life rarely discussed.
While director Brad Peyton will impact with Universe's Most Wanted, a science fiction film where a spaceship with the most dangerous criminals in the universe crashes in a town in the United States. Dave Bautista is associated with this project. The director will also be in charge of San Andreas 2, continuing the saga of natural disasters whose first installment in 2015 was a great success, raising more than 473 million dollars.
Cosmic Odyssey is presented as a space adventure full of action and mystery, with a talented cast and an experienced director. Will this be the film that finally catapults Mark Wahlberg to success in the science fiction genre?
