From Variety:

It's a Marvel-ous world out there. As Marvel Studios prepares for its release of Columbia Pictures' "Spider-Man" next week while simultaneously being in production on "The Hulk" at Universal Pictures, the production company is quickly moving forward on another comic property, "The Sub-Mariner," also at Universal. In a seven-figure deal, screenwriter David Self has been hired to adapt and executive produce "Sub-Mariner," which Marvel Studios president Avi Arad is producing with Kevin Misher's studio-based Misher Films. "Sub-Mariner" follows the adventures of Prince Namor, a half-man/half-amphibian creature from Atlantis. A troubled rebel with a short temper, he has helped the human race and fought against it when humankind polluted his underwater kingdom with waste.
