Acclaimed comic book writer Brian Michael Bendis has revealed that Cinemax is bringing Scarlet Rue to the small screen, with the network snapping up the rights to the Marvel/Icon comic book series Scarlet from Bendis and co-creator Alex Maleev.
“I do a book called Scarlet which is soon to be announced also in our universe of television,” said Bendis at the ATX Festival in Austin, Texas. “[It’s] at the earliest stage but the team around it will be announced soon and are all on the same page.”
“Scarlet is a list of things you can’t get made,” he continued. “Here’s a female lead who’s killing cops because her world is broken. When it was sold it was sold to people who were actively looking for that, so that put us in a good place. So stay tuned.”
Scarlet was first published in 2010 and follows a rebellious young woman who ends up sparking a second American revolution. The series resumed last month with the release of issue #8.
