Daniel Craig is set to star as an alien-fighting cowboy in new film ‘Cowboys and Aliens,’ it has emerged.

Seemingly, the James Bond will play the character of Zeke Jackson, a cowboy who unites with Native Americans to help fight off an invasion of aliens in the 1800s.

The film has been adapted from Fred Van Lente’s graphic novel.

Earlier, Robert Downey Jr. was supposed to do the role, reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, he withdrew, as he was reportedly busy shooting ‘Sherlock Holmes 2.’
