EXCLUSIVE: Fox is developing a film vehicle for James Franco to play the Marvel Comics character Multiple Man, with Wonder Woman scribe Allan Heinberg writing the script, and Simon Kinberg and his Genre Films producing along with Franco and Ramona Films, the shingle that Franco runs with brother Dave Franco and Vincent Jolivette.

The character is part of the X-Men universe, which Fox controls and continues to exploit with Kinberg at the center of all the movies. Multiple Man is Jamie Madrox, who, in the comics, conveyed his cloning powers at birth, when a second, identical version of him appeared after the doctor slapped the infant to get him to breathe. His father, a worker at the Los Alamos Nuclear Research Center, moved his family to a remote farm where his son — fitted with a special suit to control his powers designed by X-Men patriarch Professor Xavier — lived quietly until the suit malfunctioned and he began to go crazy. His cloning abilities drove Madrox to have various collisions and collaborations with both the X-Men and Fantastic Four. Jeremy Kramer will oversee it for Fox and the deals are being made now.

WTF?

James Franco probably chose Multiple Man because he thinks it's hilarious to have a movie starring only himself.

"Okay everyone, everyme! bad guy has stolen our girl Courtney. Gather 'round this is what we're gonna do."
"Hey! Why are you giving the orders?"
"Because I am the original Multiple Man."
"No you're not. Multiple Man Zero over there's the original Multiple Man."
"Me? I thought Multiple Man X was the original?"
"And us Multiple Man 23-34 don't even like Courtney! Why are we gonna rescue her?"
"And how come we're multiple MAN? I wanna be a woman!"
"Yeah man. Multiple Man is too gender oppressive. We're The Multiple Person."


But it's James Franco talking to himself.
