Jake Gyllenhaal is teaming with “Extraction” filmmaker Sam Hargrave for a new project called “Prophet” that’s based on a comic book series from “Deadpool” creator Rob Liefeld.
“Prophet” is set at Studio 8 and Prime Universe Films and will star Gyllenhaal as a man conscripted by the Germans and subjected to experiments during WWII that give him superhuman strength.
The film is set after the war in 1965 after he’s been trapped and buried alive for 20 years, only to wake up in a world he doesn’t recognize, with a daughter who resents him and KGB agents who want to create an army of super soldiers from his blood.
