Post Malone Is Creating a New IP Universe

Billboard

Post Malone is expanding his creative bandwidth.

The “Sunflower” singer is teaming up with Vault Comics as well as Michael Bay and Brad Fuller’s Platinum Dunes to create a brand new IP universe based on an original story by Malone. The story is inspired by elements of “road thrillers like Mad Max: Fury Road and demonic horror like Evil Dead,” per a press release and will take place in medieval Europe, “where the only thing standing in the way of the horde of demons infesting the continent is a mysterious armored 18-wheeler seemingly sent back from the heavens.”

“I’m so pumped to share this badass story with the world, and I couldn’t ask for better partners than Michael Bay and Vault to help bring this story to life,” Post said in a press statement.

“I love working with talented people, and Post Malone is incredibly gifted,” added Bay. “I am excited to work with him on such an intriguing idea, and when you add Vault to the mix, it raises the bar to another level. This new IP is just what the graphic world needs right now.”

Vault will launch the first story of the universe as a graphic novel, set for release in 2025. Additionally, Post Malone, Platinum Dunes and Vault will concurrently develop a feature film adaptation.

It’s been an exciting 2024 so far for Post Malone, who is fresh off collaborating with Taylor Swift on “Fortnight,” the lead single off her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
