Bendis & Deadpool Director Plan Kitty Pryde Film

The February 12 edition of The Hollywood Reporter announced that creator Brian Michael Bendis and Deadpool director Tim Miller are collaborating on a Kitty Pryde X-Men spinoff film under the code name “143”.

According to the article, which follows up on an earlier piece on Collider, “The project's code name is a reference to Uncanny X-Men No. 143, one of the earliest Pryde stories and her first solo adventure in which she faces a demon alone in the X-Mansion. The issue, by her creators Chris Claremont and John Byrne, was published in 1981.”
