Per Deadline, Fox has acquired the rights to the graphic novel with Wan attached to develop the adaptation. Though nothing is 100% confirmed, it looks like he may also find himself in the director’s chair once he’s done with Fast & Furious 7.
Malignant Man focuses on Alan Gates, a cancer patient with a terminal diagnosis who is resigned to his fate until he discovers that his tumor is actually a mysterious parasite. Granted a second lease on life and incredible, otherworldly powers, Alan must fight against an evil army buried beneath society’s skin, all the while unlocking the secrets of his forgotten past.
Wan will produce with Stephen Christy and Ross Richie for Fox-based production shingle BOOM! with Adam Yoelin co-producing.
