David Henrie of the Emmy-winning Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly Place will pair with Platinum Studios to develop its comic book series, The Weapon, into a feature film he'd star in.

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.

'The Weapon' is so awesome, and my Disney audience will enjoy the empowerment and action-filled journey my character experiences, Henrie said. I'm a huge fan and student of MMA (mixed martial arts), and I hope to bring that to the character of Tommy.

Henrie most recently appeared in the Disney Channel's Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie. He has had recurring roles on How I Met Your Mother, That's So Raven and The Pitts. Wizards won an Emmy on Saturday for outstanding children's program.
