Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson are again set to star together in Ball and Chain, an adaptation of the 1990s comic book with the same name by Scott Lobdell. 

The story follows a bickering couple whose superpowers work when they put aside their differences and come together.

The superhero film will be adapted by Emily V Gordon from the comic. She is best known for co-writing romantic comedy The Big Sick (2017) with her husband Kumail Nanjiani. 

The film will be produced by Johnson through his Seven Bucks banner with Dany and Hiram Garcia. Blunt and Kevin Misher will also produce.

Blunt and Johnson are currently awaiting the release of their Disney movie Jungle Cruise.
