Jeymes Samuel is making moves from the dust plains of the Wild West into the world of comic superheroes; the Harder They Fall director is re-teaming with Netflix to adapt the comic series Irredeemable and its spinoff, Incorruptible into one feature film which will reportedly combine both storylines.

The film will be written by Kemp Powers, who received an Academy Award nomination for his work on One Night in Miami and who co-wrote and co-directed the Pixar animated film Soul. Powers will next be co-directing both parts of the much-anticipated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

Created by author Mark Waid and illustrated by Peter Krause and Diego Barreto, Irredeemable and Incorruptible were both published by Boom! Studios and ran from 2009 to 2012.

Irredeemable served to deconstruct and upend some of the best-known genre tropes, telling the story of how the world’s greatest superhero, the Plutonian (aka evil Superman), snapped under the pressure of his responsibilities and charted a dark path to become the world’s greatest supervillain, slaughtering millions of civilians in the process.

The spinoff, Incorruptible, flipped the story and followed the Plutonian’s long-time nemesis and supervillain Max Damage. It tracks Damage’s journey as he responds to the Plutonian’s descent by gradually transforming himself into a hero in order to stop him, but with the added pressure of achieving his goal before his degenerative powers break his mind.

A previous film adaptation of the comics was planned at 20th Century Fox and was to be directed by Adam McKay, but was eventually abandoned.

Samuel will produce the film adaptation alongside The Harder They Fall collaborators Shawn Carter/Jay-Z and James Lassiter, as well as Stephen Christy and Ross Ritchie for Boom!
