No, not that Marvel. According to Deadline, AMC has picked up Marvel, a drama about scientist Jack Parsons.
The script comes from writer Mark Heyman.
Based on the book Strange Angel by George Pendle, Marvel centers on Parsons, who co-founded the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Not only an accomplished rocket engineer, Parsons was also a dedicated occultist who practiced forms of black magic.
Heyman is set as executive producer alongside Scott Free Productions’ Ridley Scott and David Zucker.
What do you think? Are you familiar with Jack Parsons? Would you watch Marvel?
I think Max Greenfield would be a great Parsons.
