Avengelyne is heading to Warner Bros. The studio is closing a deal to acquire the adaptation of the comic created by Rob Liefeld, from LuckyChap. As we told you already, Olivia Wilde is set to direct from a script by Tony McNamara.
Margot Robbie is now expected to star, pending the final script gaining her approval. This is the second Liefeld creation in the pipeline, as he also has Prophet in development with Sam Hargrave directing and Jake Gyllenhaal starring. Deadline had the news of the WB deal and of Robbie circling to star.
Avengelyne was stripped of all her angelic abilities, other than her great strength and her blood, which, once extracted from her body, could be used as a weapon or a miracle once empowered by quoting verses from the Bible. Avengelyne uses her powers to fight demons on earth and is being groomed to be humankind's last hope in a coming Armageddon. Well, I was hoping for an unknown here, but a studio like Warner Bros. is not going to grab this film if someone like Robbie is not attached.
