PLASTIC MAN Movie In The Works At WB With THE MAYOR Scribe Amanda Idoko Penning The Script

While new movies for DC's two biggest guns remain an uncertainty, it looks like Warner Bros. will continue expanding its DC Films universe with some of its less-known superheroes like Plastic Man!

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Warner Bros. is in the very early stages of developing a DC Comics film based on Plastic Man

Further details are unavailable at this point and there is no filmmaker attached just yet, but the studio has enlisted rising star Amanda Idoko to pen the script for the first live-action feature film based on the former crook-turned-superhero.

Plastic Man is the heroic alter-ego of former gang member Patrick "Eel"
O'Brian, who during a heist-gone-wrong gets shot and is doused with a chemical liquid that gives him the ability to shapeshift into practically anyone and anything on the planet. He then gives up his unrewarding life of crime and later becomes a police officer to take down the worst of the worst.

Walter Hamada and Chantal Nong are overseeing the project for Warner Bros.

Idoko was a former staff writer on ABC's short-lived comedy The Mayor and also has her first feature, Breaking News in Yuba County, set to go into production next year with Academy Award-winner Alison Janney (I, Tonya) and 2x Academy Award-nominee Laura Dern (Jurassic Park) starring.

Oh. Well, nice. Add it up with the other ones in development.

Guess this means the Arrowverse nor DC Universe could adapt Plas to the small screen. After Elongated Man in The Flash I wondered if maybe Supergirl or somewhere else could adapt Eel O'Brian.

We'll see how it goes.

@knocturnalzen10 - We need a Superman movie and the Batman. But if those arent ready, better to not push it, and move other things forward
