Static Shock’s upcoming movie just got a writer, and Randy McKinnon of Disney’s Safety will get the nod. This news comes from The Hollywood Reporter as the football drama scribe will get his chance to mold Virgil Hawkins on the big screen. A lot of fans were excited to hear about the project getting off the ground last year. So far, Reginald Hudlin and Michael B. Jordan are attached to produce the film. All of this momentum picked up steam after DC FanDome last year. Huddling was on a panel with some of the other Milestone Media creators like Denys Cowan, Michael Davis, and Derek T. Dingle. Static voice actor Phil LaMarr was also in the house for that conversation. An announcement about the beloved imprint coming back for DC Comics turned into a full-on fan celebration when the topic of a movie got broached. It’s not hard to see why, Static has become a popular hero for a lot of people after that television show on Kids WB.
