Marvel's Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur Is Getting A TV Show

Currently going by the title Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Diinosaur, which could change, this new project will be an adaptation of the similarly named comic series, first published in January 2016 and created by Amy Reeder, Brandon Montclare and Natacha Bustos. The story centers on nine-year-old Lunella Lafayette, an incredibly brilliant and tech-savvy inventor whose life takes a far more adventurous turn once she teams up with Devil Dinosaur, with whom she shares a telepathic link. (Some similarities with Runaways heroine Gert can certainly be found there.) Together, Lunella and her badass reptile mate use their respective wits and brawn to keep evildoers at bay. Note that Devil Dinosaur was originally created by Jack Kirby in 1978 as a partner for Moon-Boy, so we could maybe expect to see some backstory play out in the show.
