Creed director and star Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan are reuniting for a mysterious “feature film project,” which was later revealed to be a vampire movie. Per THR, actor Delroy Lindo has joined the supernatural thriller.

Warner Bros. has set a March 7, 2025, release date for the Untitled project. It will also play in Imax theaters.

Ryan Coogler (Black Panther) wrote the script and will be directing the film.

Plot details remain scarce, but the film is described as “set in the Jim Crow-era South, and possibly involves both vampires and Southern supernatural traditions. Jordan may be playing dual roles — as twin brothers.”

That means that character details are also kept under wraps, though Delroy Lindo’s character is said to have a a musical element to it. Jack O’Connell will play the villain.

Producing alongside Coogler are Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.

Speaking of Michael B. Jordan and genre features, the actor attached himself to produce The Dwelling just last year, a short story-based horror movie from Amazon Studios. As for Delroy Lindo, the actor was cast in Marvel’s MCU Blade reboot two years ago, which is currently slated for late 2025 release. Considering the reboot has been plagued by obstacles and delays, time will tell whether 2025 will mark not one, but two vampire flicks for Lindo.

Production is gearing up to begin later this spring in New Orleans, which means we can expect to hear more about the Untitled supernatural thriller soon.

Stay tuned for updates on both of these projects as we learn more.

‘Avengelyne’ – Warner Bros. Adapting Rob Liefeld’s Comic Book with Margot Robbie Potentially Starring

Published

on

From Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld, the comic book Avengelyne is headed to the big screen courtesy of Warner Bros, with Deadline reporting today that the studio is “negotiating to close a seven figure film rights deal.” Deadline reports, “Most of the deals are closed.”

And check out this creative team that’s coming together. Deadline notes that Margot Robbie (Birds of Prey, Barbie) is eyeing the starring role, with Olivia Wilde (Don’t Worry Darling) directing and Tony McNamara (Poor Things) writing the screenplay.

The website details, “Avengelyne is an angel who fights the forces of evil and often finds herself face-to-face with demons and monsters.”

“She was the most feared warrior in Heaven’s Warhost, having single-handedly broken into Pandemonium, the outer fortress of Hell, to confront the Devil himself. She is a fallen angel, banished from Heaven by God after being tricked into questioning his love for humans. Avengelyne was stripped of all her angelic abilities, other than her great strength and her blood, which, once extracted from her body, could be used as a weapon or a miracle, when it is empowered by quoting verses from the Bible. Avengelyne uses her powers to fight demons on Earth and is being groomed to be humankind’s last hope in a coming Armageddon.”

Margot Robbie’s company LuckyChap will produce the Avengelyne movie adaptation.

Created by Rob Liefeld and Cathy Christian, the Avengelyne character debuted in the comic book Avengelyne: Deadly Sins #1 back in February 1995. Learn more over on Wikipedia.
