Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde and "X-Men" producer Simon Kinberg are joining forces for a feature adaptation of "Avengelyne", a comic book character from "Deadpool" co-creator Rob Liefeld.
Robbie won’t be starring in the film, but she runs LuckyChap, alongside Tom Ackerley and Josie McNamara, the production company that produced Barbie. The new film will also welcome Simon Kinberg of X-Men and Deadpool to write and produce.
The original comic book was released in 1995 and centers around an angel that fell onto earth and fights demons and monsters along the way. Cathy Christian and Tony Lobito also helped create the character.
The project doesn’t have a home yet, so the creative team will try to sell the film to studios and streamers in the coming weeks. It’s unclear who will play Avengelyne, an angel who fights the forces of evil and often finds herself face-to-face with demons and monsters. Rob Liefeld, best known for bringing to life the Merc with a Mouth, a.k.a. Deadpool, co-created the character of Avengelyne in 1995.
LuckyChap’s other major projects include the Oscar-winning dark comedy “I, Tonya,” and Emerald Fennell’s features, “Promising Young Woman” and “Saltburn.” It most recently backed the Sundance coming-of-age film “My Old Ass,” which sold to Amazon MGM Studios for $15 million.
