Chris Pratt may have found his next big franchise.

The star is in talks to headline "Ghost Draft," the working title for a sci-fi action film with tentpole potential produced by Skydance Media. Chris McKay of "The Lego Batman Movie" is attached to direct.

The story centers on a husband and father who is drafted to fight a future war in which the fate of humanity may rely on his ability to correct issues of the past.

The project has been in development for several years at Skydance (the company behind the "Misson: Impossible" and "Star Trek" movies), but is now on the fast track. Production could begin as early as this summer.

Pratt's plate is clear, due to "Guardians of the Galaxy 3" in some doubt after the firing of director James Gunn. The third film for his other franchise, "Jurassic World," is in early development.

The actor can currently be heard in "The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part" and seen in "Avengers: Endgame" on April 26.
