"A geeky teen obsessed with comics": Sony Takes On Valiant Comics' Faith Herbert's Big Screen Debut

Sony Pictures, seizing on the surge of superhero sagas, is developing a movie about Valiant Comics' much-beloved character, Faith Herbert. As reported by Variety, the project is drawing on the expertise of producers Neal Moritz, Toby Jaffe, and Dan Mintz.

The forthcoming film, "Faith," is based on the eponymous Valiant Comics series. The character Faith Herbert, brought to life in the 1992 comic series, stands out as a refreshing take on the superhero archetype. She's a geeky teen brimming with an obsession for comics and science fiction who also possesses extraordinary abilities: the power of flight and telekinesis.

Maria Melnik, known for her work on the “American Gods” TV series and “Escape Room,” has been brought on board to script the narrative of this unique teen superhero.

Created by the imaginative minds of writer Jim Shooter and David Lapham, Faith Herbert isn't just a standalone hero; she's also a key member of the Harbinger Renegades. Her distinct blend of nerdy interests and superhuman abilities has charmed readers and critics alike over the years.

This isn't Sony and Valiant's first collaboration. They've been developing a “Bloodshot” movie since 2015, and recently signed Toby Kebbell to star opposite Vin Diesel. This latest project represents another stride in the pair's exploration of the Valiant Comics universe.

Despite Faith Herbert's youthful zest, her on-screen portrayal promises to convey her complexity, juggling a love for sci-fi and comics with her responsibility as a member of the Harbinger Renegades. As fans wait for the comic panels to come alive on screen, it's clear that Sony Pictures' adaptation of Valiant Comics' Faith Herbert is no flight of fancy.
