There is no part of that headline that isn’t great, but just to stress: Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, has been working with his brother to develop an “animated adult action comedy series” based on Deadpool, last year’s surprise, post modern superhero hit.
And when we say develop, we mean has a slot on FXX next year, so this is most likely going to happen. FXX also air Archer, and both Glover and his brother helped make Atlanta a hit, so they have form. It’ll be executive produced by two bods from Marvel, Jeph Loeb and Jim Chorry, and they’ve done quite well recently too.
2018: the year of Deadpool. Again. And we love it.
