Hot on those heels comes this announcement about Sony Pictures giving the greenlight to 90’s Black Superhero Nightwatch……
Nightwatch debuted in 1993’s Web of Spider-Man #97 by Terry Kavanagh, Derek Yaniger, and Alex Saviuk, and went on to have his own solo series for a short time. He was prominently featured in the “Maximum Carnage” crossover event. After dying, Nightwatch returned recently in She-Hulk.
