Duncan Rouleau

Man of Action Entertainment, the bi-coastal creative studio started in 2000, created the megahit Ben 10 and Generator Rex for Cartoon Network. Man of Action, a writers collective, served as co-executive producer and writer for Marvel's Ultimate Spider-Man and is currently an executive producer/writer for Marvel's Avengers Assemble on Disney XD. Man of Action Entertainment consists of creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle. Disney/Marvel's Academy Award®-winning feature Big Hero 6 utilized the characters and team created by Man of Action as credited in the main titles. The film marked the first time Disney turned Marvel comic book characters into an animated film and is also the first film based on a comic book I.P. to win an Academy Award®. The quartet collectively worked on the largest franchise characters in comics from Superman to X-Men before refocusing on creating their own original worlds/characters for their original comic books and graphic novels published through their Man of Action imprint at Image Comics. In comics, Rouleau’s work has won him both professional and critical acclaim. His first graphic novel The Nightmarist was described as "… the best original graphic novel released in years. Miss this piece of seminal fiction, and you'll be missing out on a true classic of the field." ---Dave Baxter, BrokenFrontier.com. Of his follow up work The Great Unknown, Zak Edwards of Comics Bastards wrote, “The Great Unknown #1 has probably my most favorite opening to a comic book in my recent memory, and from there an amazing protagonist. Confrontational, egotistical, wearing a freaking 'Who is John Galt' t-shirt, I am in love with Duncan Rouleau’s Zach Fled.” The Great Unknown is presently in development with New Line Cinema and Rouleau and Man of Action Entertainment is producing the upcoming feature films I Kill Giants and Officer Downe. Man of Action Entertainment will also be creating/writing/producing a new Mega Man animated series with 26 episodes in 2017 for Dentsu and Capcom and they are also returning to their original creation as Executive Producers of a new Ben 10 series for Cartoon Network.
