"Peter Berg has written the script and he’s also producing, so I’ve been able to go and talk to him about it. This is definitely going to be an edgier film for me”, added Story. But exactly how edgy? The Losers comics are filled with people regularly getting various bits of body blown to smithereens – pints of blood included: "Well, we’re not looking to make it an R rating as far as I know, but it’s going to be an edgy PG-13. So, yeah, definitely edgier…as edgy as I’ve ever done."

“The Losers” was originally published by DC Comics in the 1970s, but didn’t enjoy major success until Diggle and artist Jock revived the series in 2003. In an interview that same year, Diggle told CBR News, "The Losers were a covert U.S. Special Forces unit seconded to the CIA. When they stumbled across one of the Agency's dirty little secrets and refused to play ball, the Agency had them assassinated. Except the Losers survived. Now they've gone rogue, and have declared war on the Agency which stabbed them in the back.”

According to Variety, the film will center around a group of elite and highly trained commandoes set up to be killed by their government. The team sets out to right that wrong as well as other injustices and will be set in the present day.

"I'm a big fan of the edge of war movies like 'Black Hawk Down' or 'Band of Brothers,' and this has some of that. I was looking for a vehicle that would have that edge, but I didn't want to lose my personality, which is a bit tongue-and-cheek, where the characters have a little fun with each other," Story told Variety.
