From Marvel's press release:
CURRYING FAVOR will introduce audiences around the world to the Warriors universe, but be centered around the rise of Steph Curry, from his humble roots as the eldest son of a sharpshooting millionaire, through his Reconstructionist tear in the Southern Conference, and finally, through the legendary early morning games of GO against David Stern, where Steph paid his dues and Stern finally stopped breaking Steph's ankles and allowed him to win the first of his 4 NBA Titles.
Legendary writer of four Roseanne episodes, Joss Whedon has been chosen to write and direct. "It's a story we all know, of course, but we wanted to tell it from a slightly different perspective. This is going to be a dark, intimate film, and we're gonna see that darkness through the eyes of Marvel's Warriors first supervillain, Seth Curry. In Seth we have a tailor-made vengeful younger brother. Seth is seduced by Coach Krzyzweski, harnesses the twin powers of vampirism and flopping at Duke, and then lays low in Sacramento, biding his time, winning sympathy from the masses. It is in Sacramento, that he finishes his training in the dark arts with the elvish mage, Rajon Rondo. This is an exciting development in the story, because it will be the first NBA crossover between DC and Marvel franchises, as Rondo's infamous rise and fall were deftly told in the Greenblood Chronicles."
It is truly the dawn of a new era at Marvel, and we know audiences are eagerly anticipating any new information regarding the Warriors films. We'll be getting them many more juicy bits of information in the near future. Until then, rest assured, that Joss Whedon is being told to "Just do it like Roseanne, don't fuck it up like a bunch of your other stuff, even though we're cool with Cabin in the Woods."
