"The Avenging Fist" Japanese DVD Cover
Chinese singer-actor Wang Leehom (Little Big Soldier, The Avenging Fist, Lust, Caution) is set to star in an adaptation of Stan Lee’s comic book, Annihilator. Dan Gilroy (The Bourne Legacy) has been hired to write the screenplay.
According to Variety, the story of Annihilator revolves around a young Chinese expatriate who must choose between remaining in prison or enlist in a secret U.S. super soldier program. After a grueling gauntlet of tests and experiments, he survives thanks to “his extreme resolve, gained as a result of his family’s tradition of practicing Qijong and martial arts.”
Leehom is currently working on Michael Mann’s untitled film (tentatively called Cyber) about cyber-terrorism starring Chris Hemsworth, Andy On (Special ID), as well as his Lust, Caution co-star, Tang Wei.
