Kurt Johnstad has been tapped to pen the 'Prophet' adaptation starring Jake Gyllenhaal. The film will be based on the comic series by 'Deadpool' creator Rob Liefeld. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnstad will be joining the project as its main scribe. The film will be based on the character of John Prophet, who was first brought to life by Liefeld in the pages of the Youngblood comics in the early 1990s following his departure from Marvel to start his own comic house, Image Comics. The character would go onto become one of the most well-known superheroes from the Youngblood series. COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the comics, Prophet becomes conscripted by the German Army during the end of World War II, and gains superhuman strength and abilities following a series of experiments by a time-traveling doctor. However, the plot of the upcoming film seems to be slightly different than Liefeld's story. While Prophet will still volunteer for the German experiments, he is buried by an Allied bombing and trapped underground for 20 years. He then awakens in 1965 to "a world that has moved on without him." He must try and win back the love of his resentful daughter while running from KGB agents who want to use his blood to create new supersoldiers. Read more:

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Johnstad will be joining the project as its main scribe. Originally programmed with murderous instincts, his programming was later changed for good and was placed in stasis with the intent of re-emerging in the future to fight evil. The film will be based on the character of John Prophet, who was first brought to life by Liefeld in the pages of the Youngblood comics in the early 1990s following his departure from Marvel to start his own comic house, Image Comics." [Verse 2] We were shaking, blind and hazy How the hell did we lose sight of us again? Sobbing with your head in your hands Ain't that the way sh*t always ends? You were standing hollow-eyed in the hallway Carnations you had thought were roses, that's us I feel you, no matter what The rubies that I gave up The second verse details a heated argument, or potentially a breakup, that's reminiscent of the heartbreaking scene between Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien in the "All Too Well" short film once there was a "crack in the glass. The character would go onto become one of the most well-known superheroes from the Youngblood series. However, that project would never make it past the early pre-production phase. COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the comics, Prophet becomes conscripted by the German Army during the end of World War II, and gains superhuman strength and abilities following a series of experiments by a time-traveling doctor. However, the plot of the upcoming film seems to be slightly different than Liefeld's story. Initially the script was set to be penned by Green Lantern screenwriter and Legends of Tomorrow producer Marc Guggenheim, though it looks like a change in plans is happening for the movie. [Chorus] And I wake with your memory over me That's a real f**king legacy, legacy (It was maroon) And I wake with your memory over me That's a real f**king legacy to leave The bridge's lyrics parallel the Fearless (Taylor's Version) vault track, "You All Over Me," in which Taylor sings "No amount of freedom gets you clean / I've still got you all over me. While Prophet will still volunteer for the German experiments, he is buried by an Allied bombing and trapped underground for 20 years. He then awakens in 1965 to "a world that has moved on without him. Sources report that the film will follow a similar concept to Prophet’s comic book origins, with Gyllenhaal’s character volunteering for a Nazi experiment toward the end of World War II, only to later be buried for 20 years in an unexpected bombing." He must try and win back the love of his resentful daughter while running from KGB agents who want to use his blood to create new supersoldiers. RELATED: A Brief History of Image Comics, As Told by Co-Founder Rob Liefeld The original script for the film was written by Mark Guggenheim, known for his work on the Arrowverse television shows for The CW, though it appears that he may no longer be involved with the project. What To Expect From Gyllenhaal's Prophet Movie With Johnstad the latest name attached to the project, Gyllenhaal’s Prophet movie has plenty of action bona fides behind it. Instead, Johnstad will now take over as writer, but it is unclear if he is helming a new screenplay from scratch or if he will be pulling ideas from Guggenheim's original script. He is best known for his collaborations with Zack Snyder, penning not only 300, but also the film's sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire. More recently he adapted Antony Johnston’s graphic novel The Coldest City into the critically acclaimed Charlize Theron vehicle Atomic Blonde. Beyond this, Johnstad also wrote the scripts for films such as Act of Valor and Atomic Blonde, the latter of which he was also an executive producer. Johnstad will also team with Snyder once again as writer and executive producer on Snyder's upcoming sci-fi epic Rebel Moon. While he only recently made his directorial debut in 2020 with the Chris Hemsworth film Extraction, Hargrave also has a long list of action credits to his name as a stunt performer and coordinator, including working on Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame with the Russo brothers. Hargraves is slated to helm Prophet through production house Studio 8, with the studio tapping Jeff Robinov and John Graham as producers. Additional producers include Adrian Askarieh of Prime Universe Films, along with John Schoenfelder and Russel Ackerman. While the supersoldier out-of-time concept behind Prophet will sound more than familiar to modern audiences, the team behind it are sure to deliver an interesting and high-octane take on the material. Gyllenhaal, Liefeld and Brooklyn Weaver will also recieve producer credits. No additional cast has been announced beyond Gyllenhaal. No release window for Prophet has been announced, though it is likely years away given the film appears to still be in the early stages of pre-production.
