Donald Glover is making a Deadpool animated series for FXX
Following the breakout success of Atlanta, Donald Glover is getting a chance to dip his creative toe into the superhero pool. In a press release sent out earlier this morning, FXX announced that it is partnering with Marvel Television for Marvel’s Deadpool, an adult animated action-adventure series based on the foul-mouthed, bisexual X-Men adjacent mercenary. The series will be executive produced and written by Donald Glover and his brother/writing partner Stephen Glover, who previously worked together on the critically-acclaimed Atlanta for FX. The duo will also serve as showrunners, with Marvel’s Jeph Loeb and Jim Chory joining them as executive producers.
