Coming off The Big Short and Ant-Man, Adam McKay is now directing an adaptation of Mark Waid's Irredeemable!
Last year, Adam McKay made The Big Short, one of the best films of 2015 and a dizzyingly complex comedy-drama-turned tragedy about the 2000s housing market crash. It snagged McKay an Oscar too, for Best Adapted Screenplay. Having also written the final draft for Marvel Studios’ Ant-Man, many expected his next film might be of the superhero variety. And yes it is, but not in the way you may expect.
Representing McKay stepping away, at least for the time being, from Marvel, he's partnering with 20th Century Fox to make a superhero movie with nary a mutant or X-Man in sight. Indeed, pulling from Boom! Comics, Fox is looking to diversify its masked men portfolio with an entirely separate superhero franchise based around the Irredeemable comic series.

The Big Short’s Adam McKay is no stranger to superhero movies, having worked on the script for Ant-Man (a movie he was once in line to direct) and circled the adaption of gritty anti-hero adaption The Boys for number of years. But he hasn’t gotten the chance to direct his own comic book adaption yet. Until now. Revealed by Deadline, the director is following up his Oscar winning account of the housing crisis by teaming up with 20th Century Fox (branching out with a movie not starring the X-Men or Deadpool) with an adaption of Mark Waid and Peter Krouse’s astounding Boom! Studios series, Irredeemable. First seeing the light of day in 2009, Irredeemable tells the tale of the Superman-like The Plutonian, the world’s greatest superhero. Well, that is until he snaps and kills millions, becoming the world’s greatest supervillain, and setting him on a collision course with his former allies,...

Much of the superhero news coming out of 20th Century Fox lately has revolved around X-Men, Deadpool and a certain squadron of New Mutants – and rightly so.
Standing on the verge of release, Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse represents the closure of a barnstorming and, crucially, lucrative prequel series; whereas Deadpool blew past just about everyone’s expectations to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.
But for the studio’s next creative venture, they’ve turned to Boom! Comics’ Irredeemable, Mark Waid and Peter Krouse’s comic series that revolves around The Plutonian, a former hero who has a change of heart to become the most formidable supervillain the world has ever seen – flooding entire continents and racking up a death toll in the millions. Aiming to stem that rampage is the Paradigm, a ragtag crew of heroes that band together to, you guessed it, save the world.
