Wizards of Waverly Place star David Henrie is teaming up with Platinum Studios to develop their comic book series “The Weapon” into a feature film.

“Weapon” follows martial arts enthusiast and inventor Tommy Zhou, who has developed a ground-breaking portable innovation that an evil order will stop at nothing to steal. Released in 2007, “Weapon” was created by Platinum chairman and CEO Scott Mitchell Rosenberg.

David had this to say about starring in “The Weapon”: “The Weapon’ is so awesome, and my Disney audience will enjoy the empowerment and action-filled journey my character experiences. I’m a huge fan and student of MMA (mixed martial arts), and I hope to bring that to the character of Tommy.”
