HBO Max has announced plans of bringing African stories to the silver screen. Together with Cartoon Network and Lion Forge, the graphic novel series Iyanu: Child of Wonder is set to be adapted into an animated 2D cartoon.
Created by Nigerian filmmaker Roye Okupe, Iyanu: Child of Wonder is described as an “epic superhero tale steeped in Nigeria’s rich culture, music, and mythology.” The series chronicles the journey of a teenage girl who is tasked with uncovering the story behind her powers and saving her people from an ancient curse threatening to destroy humanity.
