The 26-year-old, whose brother is Home Alone's Macauley Culkin, will play Wallace Wells in Universal's comic book adaptation, Hitflix reports.
In Bryan Lee O'Malley's original graphic novels, Wells is the gay roommate of aspiring rock star Scott Pilgrim. The story centres on Pilgrim attempting to win the heart of his dream girl Ramona Flowers by defeating her seven ex-boyfriends.
Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have already been cast as Pilgrim and Flowers respectively. Wright is directing from a script he co-wrote with Michael Bacall.
Culkin's last major big screen role was in 2002's Igby Goes Down.
