Brian Michael Bendis working with Tim Miller on ‘Kitty Pryde’

Rumours last month pointed to 20th Century Fox developing a solo X-Men project for Kitty Pryde. The character portrayed by Ellen Page in two previous movies seems destined to head for the big screen in the next few years.

A new rumour overnight from Deadline points to ex-Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis working with Fox on the project. Also previously rumoured and now seemingly confirmed is the news that Deadpool director Tim Miller is signed on for the film.

The Hollywood Reporter has since confirmed the duo are actively developing the project but no news on a planned release schedule as yet.
