Universal Pictures has landed the movie rights to Adam Cogan and Ryan Cody's graphic novel "Villains" says The Hollywood Reporter.The story follows a 20-something slacker Nick Corrigan who discovers that his aging neighbor used to be the notorious super-villain known as "Hardliner", now retired and living in hiding for the past few decades.
Rather than turn him in to the authorities, Nick decides to blackmail him in exchange for lessons in the fine art of career super-powered crime.
Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland ("Wonder Woman") will write the screenplay.
Casting Suggestions for the slacker: Nicholas D'Agosto or Justin Long
