If you’ve been itching to see more Rob Liefeld creations heading to the big screen after this year’s Deadpool, you may be in luck as Deadline is reporting that Paramount has snapped up the rights to the Avengelyne comic book series, with Akiva Goldsman attached to produce what is being touted as “John Wick with a fallen angel”.
Created by Liefeld and Cathy Christian, Avengelyne first launched in 1995 and follows the title character, a fallen angel banished from Heaven after being tricked into questioning God’s love for humans. She now battles the forces of evil on Earth, where she is set to lead Heaven’s Warhost in the coming Armageddon.
This isn’t the first time there’s been talk of an Avengelyne movie, with Liefeld announcing at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con that he was writing a live-action movie with Gina Carano (who later starred in Deadpool) as the lead.
