We might not be getting aGambit movieanytime presently , but at least we ’ve got another wag - wield superhuman on the agency : DC Comics ’ Madame Xanadu . True Bloodwriter and executive manufacturer Angela Robinson is heading to HBO Max with a new TV series base on the immortal clairvoyant , with J.J. Abrams serve as producer .
As report inDeadline , Abrams and Robinson are teaming up to develop a series called Madame X , based on Madame Xanadu ( aka Nimue ) . The DC character pep up by the Arthurian legend was design by Michael William Kaluta back in 1978 with her initial narration worked on by David Michelinie . This is the latest TV project in Abrams ’ ongoing stack with Warner Bros. TV , which include a strand of DC project includingJustice League Dark(which very well could feature Madame Xanadu ) and a newSuperman filmfrom Ta - Nehisi Coates that will feature a Black Superman . Robinson is not exactly a stranger to comic stories either ; she antecedently wrote and directed the loosely - based - on - true - eventsProfessor Marston and the Wonder Womenand also wroteThe Webfor DC .
Over the years , Madame Xanadu has gone through several incarnations ( just like most comic grapheme ) but originally she was stripped of her powers — levitation , teleportation , and the ability to see the future through tarot cards — by Merlin , and go on to have a child that was an ancestor of none other than John Constantine . Along the agency she had many escapade with other DC witching character , made a trade with Neron for her soul , and was unsighted for a sentence because she was acting as the knock-down Spectre ’s advisor . She ’s antecedently made one live - action coming into court in the short - livedSwamp Thing(played by Jeryl Prescott ) on DC Universe ( now HBO Max ) .

You may recall there ’s also a new take onConstantinecoming from Abrams , so the chance for crossovers is mature . That fibre has been played by Matt Ryan the last few years on Legends of Tomorrow prior to his own serial on NBC . Would you wish to see Ryan keep that trend and who could you see playing Madame Xanadu ?
