A feature adaptation of the Archie comic books is in the works at Universal Pictures, with Spider-Verse franchise producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller at the helm.

Tom King ( Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow ) will pen the script for the untitled Archie movie, with plot details for the film remaining under wraps.

“We are longtime fans of Archie, Veronica, Betty and the gang in all of their iterations. When we heard Tom King’s take on the classic material, we instantly thought it made sense as an event movie for all audiences — both lifelong fans and a whole new generation. We’re so excited to bring these beloved characters to the big screen,” said Lord and Miller in a statement on Wednesday.
