MMA fighter turned actress Gina Carano is set to play the eponymous character in the big screen adaptation of Rob Liefeld's comic book series Avengelyne.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Carano and Liefeld are "re-conceiving" and "rebuilding" the title as a vehicle for the actress, and the proposed film(s) will carry a tone akin to Kate Beckinsale's pulpy Underworld franchise. For those unfamiliar with the Image comic book series, it centers around a fallen angel who now fights demons on Earth using her considerable super strength.
Carano and Liefeld were at Comic-Con last week to promote a relaunch of the series, and according to THR the search is now on for a writer or writer-director for the movie adaptation.
Carano was last seen in Justin Lin's The Fast and the Furious 6, and is awesome.
