Walt Disney Studios and Universal Pictures have been in talks to make a film about the "Origin of Darkness," a black character that appears in the fictional world of The Abyss (The Abyss is a planet in the its own right, already is a sub-species of the gods). The studio is currently at work on a sequel to the original OCE story, which was published in New York Comic Con in May, but has previously declared it would only be part of a larger story.

The character is a 51st century Roman male named Angel, a serial killer who was the first known black protagonist of American comic books and was referenced in the novel The Crimson Serpent, written by Robert Crumb.

The Abyss has been described by the DC Comics universe as being "the Unseen World" of Atlantis, a similar place in the Marvel Universe. It is also referred to by the character name of "The Black Christ."

The Abyss was previously listed as "Black" and was added to Marvel's Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2016, though it was currently being pushed back outward to series.

The Abyss was one of the first big black characters to appear in the DC Comics Universe for a while, for a number of reasons besides being a villain in a series of comics that was self-contained.

Its creators were very excited about the idea of the character being a black comic book character.

Prior to the release of the previous OCE story, it was very clear that Black Panther was the most utilized protagonist of the series. Paul Bettany was already a big fan of the character and thought he could use the character in the MCU.

The comics have largely been about the origin of the black superhero, and its incorporation into the MCU. In a dedicated fan project called The Crimson Serpent, the group of black heroes (Sam Wilson, Jay Garrick, and Jack Kirby) combined to create a new character that had the potential of being a viable part of the Marvel Universe.

Various other black characters have been introduced in various iterations of the MCU, including main female characters in the Bongo game, and Black Widow
