Lionsgate has released a second character poster, second week in a row, featuring a leading lady with an edgy theme to it in support of Frank Miller‘s upcoming comic book adaptation Will Eisner‘s “The Spirit“.

Adapted from the legendary comic book series created by Will Eisner, The Spirit is a classic action-adventure-romance written for the screen and directed by genre-twister Frank Miller. It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the Octopus (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he’s going to wipe out Spirit’s beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality.
