Justin Bieber's Silly MythosVerse CUPID Movie Is Getting Help From the Director of THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
A few months ago it was announced that Marvel Studios’ Founding Chairman David Maisel was going to attempt to build two animated cinematic universes, and he teamed up with music industry executive Scooter Braun to launch Mythos Studios.
One of the animated cinematic universes they are looking to build is being called MythosVerse, and this series of films will be built on the characters and legends of Greek and Roman mythology. This MythosVerse will be launched with a musical called Cupid, which will star Justin Bieber as Cupid.
We have now learned that the production company has hired The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey to help develop the film along with writer Mike Vukadinovich (Hulu’s The Runaways). The movie will be directed by Pete Candeland, who said in a statement:
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Michael and Mike to the ‘Cupid’ family. They bring the highest levels of imagination, brain power and execution to everything they do, and they have always been a personal source of inspiration for me.”
Variety says that Gracey “will bring his extensive experience working at the intersection of music and film to the feature, an original adaptation of the famous 2,000-year-old love story.”
I think the idea of this MythosVerse is pretty cool, but they are completely going about it the wrong way and this might be a box office bomb in the making. Why the hell would they start this off with Cupid and Bieber!? It’s like they don’t want people to watch this movie!
There are so many incredibly badass characters from Greek and Roman mythology to play with that are a thousand times more interesting than Cupid, and this is the film they want to launch it with!? I don’t get it, and I’m not interested.
