The announcement marks the 20th anniversary of the Kevin Spacey, Kevin Pollak, Benicio Del Toro, Stephen Baldwin and Gabriel Byrne-starring movie.

Keyser Soze: Scorched Earth will reveal how the mysterious criminal mastermind built his drug empire.

Singer is of course also known for his work on Fox's X-Men franchise, with his next film Apocalypse landing in 2016 and rumours that he could take on Fantastic Four as well.

Keyser Soze: Scorched Earth #1 will be released in 2016. A creative team for the project is yet to be revealed.
