Netflix’s El Elegido Is An American Jesus Comic Book Adaptation Starring Namor Actor

During Netflix TUDUM 2022, Netflix unveiled our first look at El Elegido / The Chosen One, which is a live-action adaptation of the American Jesus comics by Mark Millar.

It will star Dianna Agron, Tenoch Huerta (who will also star in the upcoming Black Panther Wakanda Forever as Namor), and more.

The synopsis reads:

Jodie, a twelve-year-old boy in Baja California, suddenly discovers he has Jesus-like powers: he can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk, and, perhaps, even raise the dead! As the Evangelical and the Yaquí leaders in town try to get him to use his powers to save mankind, all Jodie wants to do is impress the girl he likes and stand up to his bullies. As Jodie struggles and eventually comes to terms with his destiny, everything gets thrown for a loop when he realizes he discovers the truth around his identity.

There is no release date yet.
