The British are coming. Hasbro and Working Title are developing an Action Man film based on cult British toyline — and a trio of creatives with ties to Marvel Studios are joining forces to develop it.

Writing the script are Simon Hatt, who spent a decade at Marvel working with James Gunn and rising to become executive producer on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Anthony Sellitti, a scribe best known for his work on the Emmy-nominated X-Men ’97 animated series.

Jeremy Latcham, who executive produced the early Avengers movies for Marvel before breaking out on his own in 2017, is producing the project. He brings Hasbro experience with him, as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is among his producing credits.

Hasbro declined to comment. Working Title did not respond to a request for comment.
