‘Deadpool’ Creator Rob Liefeld’s Image Comics Character ‘Prophet’ Getting His Own Movie
Created by Rob Liefeld in the early ’90s, Image Comics character John Prophet is headed to the screen in the upcoming Prophet, a feature film adaptation of the comics that’s being penned by Marc Guggenheim (“Arrow”).
Deadline reports that Studio 8 is looking to build a franchise around the character. The site describes Prophet as “a DNA enhanced super-soldier placed into a cryogenic freeze for a future mission only to awaken prematurely in the present, searching for a mission that does not exist. The ruthless berserker must find his humanity.”
The site also notes that John Prophet is “expected to be part of the X-Force franchise launch that Drew Goddard is writing to direct.”
Producers on the feature film adaptation include Adrian Askarieh (Hitman: Agent 47), Brooklyn Weaver (Run All Night), Rob Liefeld, John Hyde and Terissa Kelton.
From The Lure director Agnieszka Smoczyńska, the dystopian sci-fi thriller Hot Spot starring Noomi Rapace will be released in North American theaters on August 21, 2026 via Focus Features, and the film has received its official ‘R’ rating from the MPA this week.
Just how far is the film going to be pushing that rating? Hot Spot is rated ‘R’ for “strong violent content, gore, graphic nudity, sexual content and brief language.”
Watch the previously released official trailer below. Here’s the synopsis…
“In a near future society ruled by sentient AI, a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”
Andrzej Konopka (The Lure) and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) also star.
Robert Bolesto (The Lure) wrote the screenplay.
