Sam Worthington is in talks to join the cast of David Ayer’s upcoming Ten, Variety reports. He’d star opposite the previously-announced Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The film follows an elite DEA task force that deals with the world’s deadliest drug cartels. Specializing in complex mobile operations, the team executes a tactical raid on a cartel safe house. What looks to be a typical raid turns out to be an elaborate theft operation, pre-planned by the DEA squad. After hiding millions in stolen cash, the team believes their secret is safe until someone begins assassinating them one by one.
Worthington is best known for starring roles in films like Avatar and, most recently, Man on a Ledge and Wrath of the Titans. He and Schwarzenegger also share a franchise with roles in different Terminator films.
The original screenplay for Ten arrives from Skip Woods (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, A Good Day to Die Hard). Bill Block, Paul Hanson, Joe Roth, Palak Patel and Al Ruddy will serve as producers. Alex Ott of Ayer’s Crave Films is executive producer.
