Ace filmmaker Adam Wingard, who is basking in the success of his last directorial `Godzilla vs. Kong`, continues to soar with yet another film project in the works. As per Variety, the filmmaker is set to direct Universal`s `Hardcore`, an adaptation of the comic book series from `The Walking Dead` creator Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri.

The project is being described as an action/sci-fi thriller following a soldier`s journey as he saves the world without getting his hands dirty. The script is based on an original outline from Kirkman, which Wingard will adapt with up-and-coming writer Will Simmons.
