The writer of Iron Man has revealed he’s working on a new comic book show for Amazon Studios.
Posting to Twitter on Tuesday (June 30), Christopher Cantwell shared a picture confirming that he will act as co-showrunner and writer for the streaming service’s forthcoming TV adaptation of the Image Comics series Paper Girls.
“I’m always misplacing my glasses in the writers room, so I finally got a string to wear them around my neck,” Christopher wrote alongside a photo of a white binder for the series.
“Very ‘old man’ I know, but I can get away with it as a co-showrunner (of a new TV series with Rogers and brilliant writer Steph Folsom, based on a stellar [Brian K Vaughn] comic).
