James Franco, Simon Kinberg and Wonder Woman movie writer Allan Heinberg are teaming for a new X-Men Multiple Man movie.
Multiple Man is Jamie Madrox, who, in the comics, conveyed his cloning powers at birth, when a second, identical version of him appeared after the doctor slapped the infant to get him to breathe. His father, a worker at the Los Alamos Nuclear Research Center, moved his family to a remote farm where his son — fitted with a special suit to control his powers designed by X-Men patriarch Professor Xavier — lived quietly until the suit malfunctioned and he began to go crazy. His cloning abilities drove Madrox to have various collisions and collaborations with both the X-Men and Fantastic Four.
Multiple Man is the latest movie to expand the Fox Studios X-Men movie universe, which also includes the upcoming X-Men: New Mutants movie, Deadpool 2 film and X-Men: Dark Phoenix, with additional movies in development including Deadpool 3, X-Force and Gambit.
