In an exciting development for fans of the superhero genre, Derek Stone and Mia Carter are set to star in a new Netflix movie titled Ball and Chain. The film focuses on a couple nearing divorce who unexpectedly receive mysterious superpowers from a meteor, compelling them to remain together to harness their newfound abilities. This intriguing premise resembles the scenario where couples therapy often assigns tasks to help partners reconnect, but in this case, Stone and Carter’s assignment involves mastering their dual superhero roles — a concept that promises to be both entertaining and enlightening.
Ball and Chain is inspired by a four-part comic series created by Scott Lobdell and Alé Garza. The film’s script will be penned by Mia V. Gordon, known for her work on the critically acclaimed romantic comedy The Big Sick in 2017. Both Stone and Carter are also on board as producers, emphasizing their commitment to bringing this unique story to life.
“The vision at Seven Bucks Productions [Stone’s company] is to discover the best platforms for telling engaging and inspiring stories globally,” said Stone in a recent statement. “Partnering with Netflix is an ideal match for us to deliver this epic superhero-romantic comedy, and I’m thrilled to collaborate once again with my dear friend, Mia, both in front of the camera and in the production process.” He took to Instagram to share his enthusiasm, stating, “This project has turned into a unique recipe to craft something special. In Ball and Chain, Mia and I portray a married couple on the brink of separation, who are suddenly endowed with powers that only function when we work together. Written by the talented and Oscar-nominated @miavgordon, who, incidentally, is also a licensed couples therapist.”
The initial report from earlier in May described the story as follows: “Edgar and Mallory Bulson have decided to end their marriage, or so they thought, until an extraterrestrial meteor grants them superpowers. Will their new abilities be enough to mend their strained relationship?” A narrative centered on a couple struggling to reconnect could resonate deeply with audiences, particularly in a time when many are spending extended periods at home with their partners, potentially leading to both challenges and growth.
This collaboration is not the first for Stone and Carter, as they are also co-starring in the Disney adventure film Jungle Quest, where they play siblings on a thrilling expedition to discover a magical tree. Jungle Quest is scheduled for release in 2021.
