Emily Blunt, Dwayne Johnson to star in superhero film Ball and Chain

Hollywood stars Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson are set to reteam for a superhero film from
The Big Sick co-scribe Emily V Gordon. According to a report, the project is an adaptation of the 1990s comic book Ball and Chain from writer Scott Lobdell. Gordon, best known for co-writing 2017 romantic comedy The Big Sick with her husband Kumail Nanjiani, is adapting the script from the comic. Blunt and Johnson, who are currently looking forward to the release of their Disney movie Jungle Cruise, will play a bickering couple who receive super powers that only work if they can learn to put aside their differences. Several studios are aggressively competing for the project with streamer Netflix being the frontrunner currently. (PTI)
