    Most people probably wouldn't mention the sci-fi family drama Fast Color if they're asked to list all the superhero films that came out in 2018. Now, according to Deadline, Amazon Studios is planning to introduce Fast Color's world to more people by giving Viola Davis and her husband Julius Tennon's JuVee Productions the go-ahead to create a series based on the film. The movie tells the story of three generations of black women with superpowers: Ruth, played by Gugu Mbatha-Raw (San Junipero/Black Mirror), her mom Bo and her daughter Lila. Critics praised it for taking a more grounded approach to the genre, so it's very different from the superhero flicks we're used to.
