MASK is an acronym for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand, a task force led by Matt Trakker whose goal is to take out the criminal organisation VENOM. A writer is currently being sought.
Gray next heads to Sony for a reboot of the Men In Black series with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson. We’re expecting that one to roll into production later in the year.
