According to Deadline, Vanessa Kirby, known for her role in ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps,’ and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who stars in ‘Wonder Man,’ have been cast in the upcoming film ‘Liminal’.

This film is adapted from the graphic novel Telepaths by J. Michael Straczynski, Steve Epting, and Brian Reber, published by AWA Studios.

After a strange electromagnetic event gives roughly ten percent of the world’s population telepathic abilities, chaos erupts. In Boston, police officers who suddenly develop these powers are tasked with recapturing a prisoner they believe to be guilty, but who quickly becomes a leader and symbol of hope for other telepaths. This prisoner is seen as a hero by his followers, while the police see him as a criminal.
