The man who is arguably one of the grandfathers of the modern superhero movie, Producer Ilya Salkind, recently announced via his Facebook that he is partnering up with DC Comics once again to bring a new television project to life. Salkind is best known as one of the producers of 1978's Superman: The Movie, looked upon by many as one of the greatest comic book films ever made. He'll be adapting Malibu and DC's The Man Called A-X. The character made his first appearance in 1994 in a series created by Marv Wolfman and Shawn McManus through Malibu Comics before moving to DC Comics in 1997.
"My latest Television project . Based on the hit comic books titled The Man Called AX created by and written by Marv Wolfman and Shawn Mc Manus. It is going to be a big success.Hope you all will enjoy it," Salkind stated.
For those not knowledgeable of The Man Called A-X, "the City of Bedlam was founded by criminals in the 1920s, and today it is still run by ten criminal families. But one of the families has plans to take over the city. Into this combative world of crime run rampant comes The Man Called A-X. He has no idea who he is, how he got to Bedlam or what his role is in the crime war to come. All he cares about is learning who he actually is and to stop whoever is trying to control him."
