about the project and casting
Olivia Wilde, Margot Robbie, and “X-Men” producer Simon Kinberg have united to bring to life a feature adaptation of “Avengelyne,” a beloved comic book character created by none other than Rob Liefeld, the co-creator of “Deadpool.”
Wilde, acclaimed for her directorial work in films like “Booksmart” and “Don’t Worry Darling,” is set to helm the project. Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap, along with her partners Tom Ackerley and Josie McNamara, will produce the film. Kinberg, renowned for his contributions to the “X-Men” franchise, will also join as a producer.
With the project currently seeking a home, the creative team aims to pitch the film to various studios and streaming platforms in the upcoming weeks. The casting for the titular role of Avengelyne—an angelic warrior who confronts the darkness, facing demons and monsters—is yet to be announced. Liefeld, celebrated for his creation of the iconic “Deadpool,” co-crafted Avengelyne in 1995, adding another legendary character to his repertoire.
“Avengelyne” follows the journey of a fallen angel named Avengelyne, tasked with protecting humanity from demonic threats. Armed with divine abilities and unwavering determination, she battles against the forces of darkness alongside her allies, including the enigmatic Passover and the devout Father Michael. As she navigates the complexities of her dual nature and confronts her own past, Avengelyne must overcome formidable foes, including the cunning Lucifer himself. Fueled by a sense of justice and redemption, she embarks on epic quests filled with action, intrigue, and supernatural intrigue, forging a path of salvation amidst the chaos of a world teetering on the brink of damnation.
