, Robbie is apparently currently looking to star in an upcoming adaptation of Avengelyne, a '90s co-created by Cathy ********** and Rob Liefeld, the latter of which being the co-creator of the iconic Marvel anti-hero Deadpool. Robbie, if she joins the film, would be taking on the lead role of the titular character, a fallen angel that can use her blood as a ******* or miracle through quoting ****** verses. Yes, this does very much sound like a '90s comic, complete with an oversexualised design, though I'm sure a film version will shape up a bit differently.

Warner Bros. is also apparently close to finalising a seven-figure film rights deal, with Don't Worry Darling director and Tron: Legacy actor Olivia Wilde on directorial duties, and Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, Logan) as producer. Poor Things screenwriter Tony McNamara is also attached to pen the script. In a statement provided to Variety, Liefeld said, "This incredibly humbling journey to bring Avengelyne to life onscreen started through my relationship with super-producer Simon Kinberg who told me he had a perfect fit for the material and asked me to trust him.
