UK, March 25, 2008 - Hugh Jackman is turning his hand to comic book creation, teaming up with writer Marc Guggenheim on the forthcoming series Nowhere Man.
According to Variety, story will be set in a future where mankind has traded privacy for safety, and the main character will be reminiscent of the one Will Smith played in I Am Legend.
If successful, Virgin Comics are hoping to transfer the series to the big screen as a potential franchise for the Australian star.
Speaking of the project, Jackman said: "I've had so much fun in the graphic novel world with the X-Men franchise that I wanted to get even more involved. I'm excited to work with Virgin and Marc and create a compelling character and story that hopefully will also make it to the big screen."
The series will mark Jackman's first foray into the comic book world, although his co-creator Guggenheim has a wealth of experience, having previously written installments of both Wolverine and The Amazing Spider-Man.
