Career

Tucker gained notability from writing an unsolicited screenplay for Broken City (2013), which was bought by Mandate Pictures.[1][2] The script became part of the film industry's 2008 black list of "best, albeit unproduced, screenplays."[3] Speaking about the finished film, Emily Helwig of The Hollywood Reporter said "Tucker's screenplay might have been the problem and that it may have been a better story told as a period piece."[4] Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune had issues with the "coincidence and improbability" of Tucker's script.[5] In January 2019, he wrote a script for a biopic based on the life of Angela Davis.[6] In November 2019, it was announced that Tucker would serve as a screenwriter on a remake of The Fugitive.[7] In August 2021, it was revealed that Tucker had been hired to rewrite Todd McFarlane's screenplay for the upcoming Spawn reboot.[8] Tucker was also attached to write the screenplay for a Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance remake[9][10] and an original film titled Expiration.[11] In April 2023, he was announced to have written all of the episodes of Secret Invasion, set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.[12]
