The film is set against the backdrop of a comic book convention, reported Deadline.
Kwanten will play a fast-talking voice actor who is part of a ragtag group that plans to rob a crooked promoter and a domineering former TV star.
The movie also stars John Malkovich, Maggie Grace, Mike Epps, and CariDee English.
Zak Knutson is directing the project, which he co-wrote with Andrew Sipes.
