The trade says that “[d]etails of the untitled project are being kept under wraps, but it’s described as a multigenerational superhero movie that spans several decades.”
Lee and Gil Champion will produce through their POW! Entertainment.
Gough and Millar’s previous credits include “Smallville,” Spider-Man 2, Shanghai Noon and its sequel Shanghai Nights, as well as I Am Number Four.
