Hollywood is breaking new ground with its first plus-sized superhero, as a film featuring Faith Herbert, AKA Zephyr, from Valiant Comics’ Harbinger stories gets underway.
Recent projects in development include Ms Marvel, featuring American Muslim character Kamala Khan and Silk, a Korean-American superhero who gains Spider-Man-likepowers.
Faith is described as “a jubilant, comics-and-science-fiction loving geek who also happens to have telekinetic superpowers”.
According to Deadline, Sony have hired writer Maria Melnik (American Gods) to work on the project.
