The Anchorman himself, Will Ferrell, will be starring in an as-yet-untitled comedy as a middle-aged esports pro, according to Variety's Justin Kroll.

According to Variety, the film will have a similar tone to Ferrell's 2006 NASCAR parody, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, and Fnatic and Evil geniuses will have "a presence in the film." However, it is not currently known whether Ferrell's character will stealing Barons as a League player, top-fragging as a CS:GO pro, or competing in a fictional esport.

The movie was written by SpongeBob SquarePants 3 scribes Michael Kvamme and Jordan Dunn and is being co-produced by Legendary, Mosaic, Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions and Gravity Squared.

The film won't be Ferrell's first foray into the world of video games. In 2004, Ferrell took on the esteemed role of Trooper #4 in Call of Duty: United Offensive and also reprised his roles as Ted Shackleford and Lord Business in the Curious George and Lego Movie video game adaptations.
