Margot Robbie, Olivia Wilde Team-Up for Rob Liefeld's Avengelyne Movie

Margot Robbie and Olivia Wilde are combining their power as A-List actresses and filmmakers to make their own superhero movie adaptation of Rob Liefeld's comic series, Avengelyne.

Robbie is set to produce the film through her LuckyChap imprint , while Wilde is set to direct the film. There is some uncertainty in the reporting about whether the films is being shaped as a vehicle for Robbie to star in, or if another actress will be courted for the role. It's noted by Deadline that a"big A-list writer" is considering doing the script for the adaptation.

There have been previous attempts to make Avengelyne into a film – including a mid-2010s version shepherded by Akiva Goldsman and Paramount, which was set to be"John Wick with a fallen angel." Rob Liefeld was even at one point going to write the script as a vehicle for Gina Carano. "Avengelyne resonated so powerfully with the audience because her story of redemption is one that is so relatable," Liefeld said in a previous interview."A fallen angel, sentenced to redeem herself by serving humanity, Earth is a foreign environment to her, she must adapt in order to save herself as well as mankind. Her dilemma provides humor amidst the larger plot engine driving her journey.

There will be plenty of fans of Robbie who may hear that blurb from Liefeld and think that her version of Avengelyne will be 'Biblical Barbie For Fandom' and they may not be entirely wrong. And Robbie and Wilde wouldn't be wrong for going with that kind of film. With the right casting, it's an almost guaranteed win and is sure to be a smart, updated spin on the kind of comic Rob Liefeld created back in 1995.
