While discussing his directorial debut on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow creator Marc Guggenheim offered an update on his progress with the Prophet script. He addressed what it was like to work with creator Rob Liefeld, as well as how they will update the character for the 2020s.

"I'm still right now in the outline stage, but I've had numerous conversations with Rob as I was developing my take. He gets copies of everything that I write up, from the outlines and when I eventually have a draft, he'll get the draft," Guggenheim explained to CBR. "It's really important to me that I do right by the character, and I think he's the best barometer of whether or not I'm doing that, because it's his baby."

"Rob is a really smart and savvy guy. He recognizes, kind of like I do, which is whenever you take a character from one medium to another, it's very, very difficult and probably ill-advised to do a literal translation," he continued. "You know, there are things that have to change. There's also things that have had to change, by virtue of the fact that Rob created this character back in the 90s, and here we are in 2020. A lot has happened in between. He's actually the first guy to point that out."

"So it's actually kind of nice, because I've worked on Green Lantern and I've worked on the DC shows, but this is the first time I've been adapting a character, with the creator of the character available. I couldn't talk to the guys who created Green Arrow when we were doing Arrow! So this is kind of nice. It's great to be able to go directly to the source," he added.

John Prophet debuted in Lefield's Youngblood #2 back in 1992. He lived as a homeless man during World War II, until he volunteered for a medical program run by time-travelling scientist Dr. Horatio Wells. Using DNA-enhancing technology from the future, Wells turned Prophet into a supersoldier with a drive to kill. He left Prophet in cryostatis until he could rejoin him in the future, but Prophet was accidentally awoken in our present day, when -- in his disorientation -- he went on the attack. Now, in a world he does not recognize, he will need to rediscover his humanity.

Studio 8 originally picked up the rights to Prophet back in July 2018. However, since then, there had been little news about the project's development, until Guggenheim boarded as writer earlier this month. Liefeld will produce the film alongside Hitman: Agent 47's Adrian Askarieh, Brooklyn Weaver, John Hyde and Terissa Kelton.

Written by Marc Guggenheim, Studio 8's upcoming Prophet film does not yet have a release date.
