Robert Kirkman Offers Update on His Live-Action INVINCIBLE Film

With Amazon’s animated series adaption of Robert Kirkman’s comic book Invincible coming up, some fans have been wondering what’s going on with the live-action film adaptation. The film project was announced years ago and it’s been a while since there’s been any kind of update.

During a recent interview with EW, Kirkman offered an update on the project confirming that it’s still moving forward and that Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are still attached to write and direct it. He also says that the film will be completely separate form the animated series:

“That is still very much in development. That hasn’t changed. We’re just taking a long time. But we’ve been fortunate enough to have a two-track plan with Invincible. Right now we’ve got the animated series at Amazon, which is now on the cusp of launching, and then we’re also still developing it as a film series with Universal, with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg attached. So, those two things are still very much happening concurrently, which is somewhat weird, I guess. But there’ve been Spider-Man animated series and Spider-Man movies at the same time. So, I think we’re in good company.”

Invincible is described as a suspenseful, action-filled, emotion-packed story that builds upon poignant and heartwarming moments of love, friendship, and humanity. The story revolves around 17-year-old Mark Grayson, who’s just like every other guy his age — except his father is the most powerful superhero on the planet, Omni-Man. But as Mark develops powers of his own, he discovers his father’s legacy may not be as heroic as it seems.

While we wait for that live-action film to get made, we’ll be able to enjoy the animated series that’s coming in March.
