Variety is reporting that Arnold Schwarzenegger has joined the cast of Taran Killam’s Why We’re Killing Gunther. Killam will be starring and directing the film based off his own script.
Principal photography will begin in June with Bobby Moynihan and Cobie Smulders also in the film.
Schwarzenegger will portray the titular Gunther, the world’s greatest hitman who’s also arrogant, a show-off and steals jobs. The assassin community is tired of him and a group of eccentric killers from across the globe come together to set the perfect trap, but their master plan quickly turns into a series of embarrassing fails as Gunther always appears one step ahead.
