According to a new report from Deadline, Apple TV has greenlit a new science fiction thriller titled Liminal, which will feature Fast X director Louis Leterrier at the helm. The other big news regarding the project is that it will star Vanessa Kirby (Fantastic Four: First Steps) and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (Wonder Man), who will finally have the chance to share the screen ahead of any potential team-ups in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars.
Two Marvel Stars Will Bring Another Comics Project To Life
Fans know Kirby and Abdul-Mateen II from their MCU roles of Invincible Woman and Wonder Man, respectively, but the project they are about to team up in is based on a comics property as well. Liminal is based on the AWA (Artists, Writers, and Artisans) series Telepaths, which is from the all-star team of J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting, Brian Reber, and Sal Cipriano, and the original story paints a clear picture of what the story will likely be in the movie.
Telepaths is set in a world where a tenth of the population finds themselves with telepathic powers thanks to an electromagic event. That includes the Boston police, who are sent to confront a wrongly convicted prisoner who ends up becoming a hero and leader of other telpethas. They simply want to escape a world where their new powers will make them targets, and the future depends on these two groups finding a way to trust each other despite everything else happening around them.
