The creators of the upcoming adaptation of the DC Comic Jonah Hex believe the same thing, choosing to draw from the comic’s 1990’s run of supernaturally-themed comics for the film rather than the previous extended run in which the character was just a badass cowboy.
The Hollywood Reporter states that Hex, known for his Confederate Army uniform and disfigured face, will face down supernatural threats in the Old West thanks to a script by Pathology penners Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Warner Bros. hasn’t settled on a director yet, but when they do, rest assured you’ll know about it! I do love me some supernatural cowboy adventures!
