Los Angeles Nov 29 (IANS) Actor James Franco is on baord to produce as well as act in the "X-Men" spin-off "Multiple Man".
"I do have a superhero that I am developing. I don t know how much I can say. But I will say I am producing and performing in it. It s early stages. I think probably what I can say is like anything there s a need to develop more " Franco told hollywoodreporter.com.
The actor also added that the spin-off would have a more adult-oriented rating following the example of "Deadpool" and "Logan".
He also mentioned working with Simon Kinberg a longtime "X-Men" producer and the director of upcoming "X-Men: Dark Phoenix".
"What I love about what Simon Kinberg and Fox and the X-Men people have done with Deadpool and Logan is that it took a while to get there maybe 10 years-but they are going to go hard R. We are going to take this superhero thing and really just push it into a new genre. So we re working with Simon Kinberg on an X-Men property " said Franco.
