50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) is set to make his move into superhero cinema, with the rapper-come-media mogul signing on to produce at least one film based on DC’s Xerø comics.Deadline reports that Jackson will steer the project through his production company, G-Unit Film & Television, in tandem with Color Farm Media’s Erika Alexander and Ben Arnon.

Xerø creator Christopher Priest is also linked to the project, with Joseph Illidge – CEO of production and publishing company Illuminous – rounding out the production team.

Notable is that the Xerø film will be a wholly independent production, with neither DC nor WarnerMedia involved in the project.

Though DC was behind Xerø’s launch in 1997, the series’ rights reverted back to Priest in 2008. The comic ran for a single 12-issue run between ’97 and ’98, but has since grown a cult following.It followed the story of Coltrane/Trane Walker, a Black athlete and government agent who would disguise himself as Caucasian to conduct his secret operations.
