A high-powered package is in the works to bring Avengelyne, the '90s comic book character created by Rob Liefeld, to the big screen. The project has attracted top talent, with Olivia Wilde set to direct the feature adaptation. Wilde, known for her work on films like 'Booksmart' and 'Don't Worry Darling,' is joined by LuckyChap, the production company behind hits like 'Barbie,' led by Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josie McNamara.
Simon Kinberg, a seasoned writer and producer with credits on X-Men and Deadpool movies, is also on board to produce the Avengelyne project. The team is currently assembling the package to pitch to studios and streaming platforms in the near future.
Avengelyne, first introduced in 1995, follows the story of a fallen angel sent to Earth on a mission to find and protect 'The One,' a crucial figure in safeguarding humanity from supernatural threats like demons and monsters. While Robbie is involved in producing, she is not set to star in the film.
Robbie's experience in the comic book genre, having portrayed Harley Quinn in multiple DC films, adds depth to the project. Wilde's transition from acting to directing has been well-received, with her recent work showcasing her talent behind the camera.
Rob Liefeld, the mind behind popular characters like Deadpool, is seeing increased interest in his creations from Hollywood. Alongside Avengelyne, projects based on his other works, such as Prophet, have garnered attention from industry professionals.
With Wilde at the helm and a team of accomplished producers backing the project, the Avengelyne adaptation is poised to make waves in the entertainment industry. Fans of the comic book series and newcomers alike can anticipate an exciting journey as the film moves closer to production.
