Margot Robbie Set to Bring to Life Character from Creator of Deadpool

Margot Robbie, recognized for her recent producer role and iconic performances, is in talks for an adaptation of '90s Image Comics' series Avengelyne. This character was conceived by Cathy Christian and renowned Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld. Avengelyne is a fallen angel who battles demons with superhuman capabilities, a premise that seems befitting of Robbie's career trajectory of strong, empowering roles. Warner Bros. is finalizing a significant deal for the film rights, with notable names such as Olivia Wilde slated to direct and Simon Kinberg producing. Tony McNamara is on board as the screenwriter. LuckyChap, Robbie's own company, which is also working on the Sims and Monopoly adaptations, is attached to the project. This upcoming film promises to offer a unique cinematic experience according to Liefeld, with a focus on assembling a creative team that can bring an extraordinary vision to the screen.

Avengelyne is a comic book series that follows a fallen angel named Avengelyne, who defends humanity from demons and other supernatural threats. She possesses the power to perform miracles or use her own blood as a weapon by quoting bible verses.

Avengelyne, birthed into the comic book world in the 1990s, is often aligned with the era's trend of darker, more mature comic storytelling. The character is known for her warrior-like qualities and spiritual battle against evil, fitting nicely into the gallery of robust female leads. With the recent surge in successful comic book adaptations, Robbie's participation in bringing Avengelyne to the silver screen could potentially spark a new franchise with deep lore, appealing both to fans of the original comics and a modern audience hungry for superhero films with a different edge.
