Olivia Wilde, LuckyChap, Simon Kinberg Developing ‘Avengelyne’ Adaptation

Rob Liefeld‘s Avengelyne is getting the movie treatment. The Hollywood Reporter announced on Thursday that Olivia Wilde has teamed up with Margot Robbie‘s Lucky Chap and producer Simon Kinberg to adapt the Liefeld comic. Per the outlet, Wilde would direct the project, which is expected to be a feature, while Robbie’s Lucky Chap will produce the movie with Kinberg. As of right now, no studio is attached, but the hope is that with the package coming together, talks will begin with studios and streamers “in the coming weeks.”

While a writer isn’t currently attached to the project, Deadline has suggested an “A-list” writer is currently circling the project. As it seems to be coming together rather quickly, it’s possible news regarding a writer will hit sooner rather than later. It’s also of note that no actor is attached to the movie as of now. While Margot Robbie‘s Lucky Chap banner is producing the project, the actress is not expected to star in the project.

Debuting in 1995, Avengelyne focuses on a fallen angel cast down to Earth as she’s forced to find and protect The One. The series was created by Liefeld and Cathy Christian.
