Sony Pictures is developing a live-action movie based on popular Japanese manga series "One-Punch Man".
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio has roped in Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, the scribes of "Jumanji: The Next Level" and "Venom", to write the film.
Created in 2009 by Japanese artist ONE as a web comic,"One-Punch Man" is about the superhero Saitama,who can defeat any opponent with a single punch but seeks to find a worthy opponent after growing bored by a lack of challenge in his fight against evil.
The comic quickly went viral upon its debut and became a manga in 2012, with illustrations from Yusuke Murata. Shortly after, it was adapted into a hugely popular anime.
The project will be produced byAvi Arad and Ari Arad through their banner Arad Productions.
