Netflix has been focusing more and more on films in recent years, and one of these projects is a superhero movie that the streaming giant is recruiting some talent for.

According to Deadline, Netflix has ordered “Past Midnight”, a 'new type' of vigilante superhero story written by TJ Fixman and will be directed by “Dope” director Rick Famuyiwa. Joe and Anthony Russo, who have been busy making the Marvel juggernaut “Avengers: Infinity War”, are on board as producers of the film.

The last time Reeves played a superhero was in the critically panned “Constantine”, but jhe has gotten a lot of goodwill back thanks to the “John Wick” movies.

Plot details for “Past Midnight” are being kept under wraps at the moment.

TJ Fixman predominately comes from the video game world – having written a bunch of the “Ratchet” and “Clank” games, but he's also sold a number of film projects.

Rick Famuyiwa was this close to directing the Flash movie for Warner Bros., before creative differences drove them apart. “Past Midnight” will be his second chance at tackling the superhero genre.
