He said, "When this project was brought to Justin, he instantly was excited to be a part of it. Fortunately for us, like Cupid, he knows a little bit about love and mischief."
David added, "Both myself and Scooter have a lifelong love of mythology and we are so excited to partner with Justin to bring the amazing, magical story of Cupid to the world."
The story will be in experienced hands, as David was previously executive producer of the first two Iron Man films, The Angry Birds Movie and The Incredible Hulk - and he also happens to be the founding chairman of Marvel Studios.
Fans were quick to point out that this version of the character Cupid was sporting a tattoo of two wings on the back of his neck - most likely inspired by Justin's own tattoo.
This won't be the singer's first foray into the world of Hollywood, as he's previously appeared as himself in films such as Zoolander 2 and Killing Hasselhoff.
