Owen Wilson into an action hero have fallen flat. But what this news about the
Loki actor’s next project presupposes is…maybe they didn’t. Wilson has signed on to star in Paramount’s
Secret Headquarters, a family action movie produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and helmed by
Project Power directing duo

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.”
