NYCC 2015: A T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents Movie Is Coming
At least one other major announcement stemming from the ruckus of events at New York Comic Con as of late is that of a new superhero movie venture now in development overseas. The film in question, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents, is another big move for China who are already part and party to a number of brewing comic book titles already, including Valiant Comics’s latest dealings with DMG.
This time, it’s China’s biggest film conglomerate, Huayi Brothers who are also underway with an 18-film deal with STX Entertainment. Apart from this, Huayi will join Batman film franchise producer Michael Uslan in reportedly gathering for a live action franchise of said movie, based on the 1965 Tower publication with an acronymic title, which centers on a team of ordinary citizens who are gifted with high-tech equipment that grants them special powers to take on evil.
Variety also reports Marvel’s own Stan Lee will make a cameo in the film, now currently set for a 2018 release with Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton providing the screenplay and a director currently in search.
