Bob Marley: One Love’s Frank E. Flowers will be directing the AGBO production venture, while The Boys fame Karl Urban is in talks of joining the cast. If it is confirmed, The Bluff will surely be garnering a lot of buzz and attention from fans of the MCU, The Boys, and PC herself.

Priyanka Chopra stars as a female pirate in The Bluff. Her Instagram post and its playful caption from Mark Twain highlight her enthusiasm for the role. Her excitement as a strong woman is understandable, as the closest encounter she had with a raiding ship and pirates was a Bollywood dance sequence in the 2004 film Aitraaz.
