Mark Wahlberg, Peter Berg plan to make an action trilogy

Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg have announced that they are planning to make "Mile 22" as an action franchise.

In a surprise announcement, the duo declared the project at STX Entertainment's CinemaCon, reported Variety.

Wahlberg described the deal as "an intelligent, adult action film" and said he and Berg want to make the first film as the start of a trilogy.

"I still don't feel like I have the movie, the role, that defines me," he added.

The film's story is based on a CIA agent placed in Indonesia, who has to transport an informant from a city to a getaway plane at an airport 22 miles away.

Earlier, Wahlberg and Berg have collaborated on "Lone Survivor," "Deepwater Horizon" and "Patriots Day".
