G-Unit Film & Television – headed up by 50 Cent – is teaming up with Color Farm to produce “Xerø.” Christopher Priest’s comic will be developed as a live-action film with the possibility for a franchise.
“Xerø” centers on a Black government assassin who “weaponizes invisibility by disguising himself as a white man to blend anonymously into the exotic Casino Royale haunts of the international elite.” It’s also the story of “his moral awakening and the life-and-death perils it presents.”
Priest is reportedly the first Black comic book writer and editor to work for both Marvel and DC. His credits include “Black Panther,” “Spider-Man”, “Green Lantern,” “Conan the Barbarian,” and “Deadpool.”
