Netflix one-ups Disney as it outbids the studio for rights to stream a new “subversive” superhero film starring Star Wars’s Daisy Ridley. Super-Normal is meant to be a character-driven, subversive take on the popular genre so it garnered instant interest. The film is being produced by Beauty and the Beast’s Josh Gad alongside It producer Dan Lin, who is also involved in Netflix’s Death Note. Gad seems to be enlisting another friend as Luke Evans will also be starring alongside him and Ridley. Evans actually helped Gad pitch the project. Gad also enlisted the help of brothers Aaron and Jordan Kandell, who both worked on Disney’s Moana, to write the script.
