This marks yet another Robert Kirkman property being adapted in live-action, although unlike The Walking Dead, Invincible and Outcast, we’ll see Oblivion Song brought to life as a movie rather than on television.
Kirkman noted in his own statement that he and his team can’t wait to see Jake Gyllenhaal “bring this character to life on the big screen.”
Whether or not Oblivion Song does indeed launch a franchise is a question that won’t be answered for a long time, but at least this gives Gyllenhaal the chance to stretch his broaden his reach in the comic book movie realm beyond the Spider-Man film series.
