Other movies Knight has written include 2018’s The Girl in the Spider’s Web and 2021’s Spencer.
The film is being produced by Downey Jr. and his wife Susan Downey through their Team Downey production banner, meaning the Marvel Cinematic Universe alum could end up both starring in and producing the remake. John Davis and John Fox are also set to produce through Davis Entertainment.
