Wilson stars as a father on the mission in the new original Paramount+ movie “Secret Headquarters.” Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, the duo behind the recent Netflix superpower-adjacent actioner “Project Power,” direct the straight-to-streaming movie about a kid who suspects his dad, played by Wilson, might be a superhero. It turns out he’s right, and when villains attack his father’s headquarters, they team up with him to help take down the threat.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
Secret Headquarters follows a kid and his friends discovering the headquarters of the world’s most powerful superhero hidden beneath his home. When villains attack, they must team up to defend the headquarters and save the world.
Outside of Wilson, “Headquarters” also stars Michael Peña and Jesse Williams as well as newcomer Walker Scobell. Scobell’s big break came in the Netflix movie “The Adam Project” with Ryan Reynolds. He was also recently cast as the lead in Disney+‘s upcoming “Percy Jackson” series. The movie also stars Keith L. Williams, Momona Tamada, and Abby James Witherspoon.
“Secret Headquarters” adapts the novel of the same name by Christopher Yost, and this is hardly Yost’s first taste of Hollywood. He’s been involved in numerous projects over the years, including “The Mandalorian” and “Thor: Ragnarok.”
So, how will Owen Wilson fare as a superhero instead of being one’s quasi-sidekick? Find out when “Secret Headquarters” premieres exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S and Canada on August 5. Watch the trailer below.
