According to Deadline, MGM has successfully acquired the screen rights to Devil’s Due Publishing’s supernatural comic book series titled Mercy Sparx which centers around a female demon who’s hunting down rogue angels on Earth.
Elishia Holmes and Sandino Moya-Smith have also been tapped to oversee the project on behalf of MGM.
The studio is also eyeing this project as a potential franchise-starter that is being described as a female version of Keanu Reeves’ Constantine.
On earth, Mercy has an existential crisis and begins to see the gray area between good and evil.
