Mark Wahlberg is set to star in The Operator, a new film that has been acquired by Netflix. Harrison Query, who wrote for Heads of State among other things, is writing The Operator.

While a director hasn't been announced for The Operator, Wahlberg is set to produce the film along with Scott Glassgold, Alex Heineman, Stephen Levinson, and Andrew Rona. Query will serve as an executive producer. The Picture Company, Municipal Pictures, and 12:01 Films are the banners backing the film.

According to Deadline, the story of the film follows a former Special Forces soldier (Mark Wahlberg), who works as a clean-up professional for USA's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). When he is tasked to secure a target that he loathes the most, the mission turns into a quest for survival.

Query has also created Trigger Point, for Netflix, which follows the story of former Special Forces soldiers who become contractors for the criminal underworld, until an FBI agent starts to pursue them. Joel Edgerton headlines the series. Wahlberg, who was recently seen in The Family Plan 2, has the crime thriller, By Any Means, in his pipeline.
