McAvoy and Freeman also star in hitman drama
Timur Bekmambetov ("Night Watch") is directing the adaptation of the comic by J.G. Jones and Mark Millar.
Michael Brandt and Derek Haas wrote the script, which is set in a dark alternate world in which super-villains run everything. A young man discovers that his recently killed father was a particularly villainous assassin (fittingly named The Killer) and that he inherited certain of his dad's traits.
According to Variety, Jolie will play a veteran assassin who educates the nascent young killer. The "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" star came aboard the project after Dean Georgaris ("Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life") rewrote the character for her strengths.
Jolie, whose next film is the completed Mariane Pearl drama "A Mighty Heart," recently signed on to star for Clint Eastwood in the Universal drama "The Changeling."
