The first photos of
Josh Brolin in costume as
Jonah Hex have found their way online.
The DC Comics adaptation revolves around a bounty hunter, an American Civil War veteran with scars covering the right side of his face, who attempts to stop a Southern plantation owner from raising an army of the undead.
Jonah Hex first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of “
All-Star Western” before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.
The
Jimmy Hayward-directed comic book also stars
John Malkovich, Megan Fox (whose pictures from the set of the movie you can see
here),
Will Arnett and
Michael Shannon.
