Mythos Studios Announces the Creative Team Behind Michael Turner’s Fathom and Soulfire Films

Aspen Comics

Mythos Studios has announced the creative teams that will be overseeing three films that are in pre-production, two of which are based on comic creator Michael Turner‘s work.

Fathom and Soulfire are both in production and are being worked on together with a focus on a shared universe including crossover events and sequels. Kevin Adams and Joe Ksander will handle both films.

Kristin Fore will be writing the screenplay for Fathom. The story is about Aspen Mathews who’s a marine biologist and discovers she’s a member of an underwater species. The comic was first published in 1998.

Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt will adapt the screenplay for Soulfire. That series debuted in 2003. The story follows Malikai, an orphan who discovers he’s the link to a forgotten age of magic and goes on a quest to restore magic with the help of Grace, a winged goddess.

Mythos Studios was founded by Marvel Studios’ founding chairman David Maisel as well as Scooter Braun, a former manager of such musicians as Justin Bieber, Kanye West, and Ariana Grande. The company in March 2018 invested 50% in the comic publisher Aspen Studios who are the ones behind Fathom and Soulfire.
