Recently though, legendary animator James Baxter released a short animation test for the ill fated film. Production on Medusa continued after Faust’s departure, with Robert Rugan stepping in as director. Medusa (Medusalith Amaquelin-Boltagon) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Sadly, everything eventually fell apart and finally in 2019 the project was officially canceled. I do not know if Medusa has been shelved, but I am no longer working on it or at Sony.” But, as it happens at so many studios with so many projects, we ultimately ran into creative differences on the direction of the project. “I very much enjoyed my time at Sony Pictures Animation and was extremely excited about the progress our amazing team was making on Medusa. Faust elaborates with Cartoon Brew at the time. According to Faust at the time, the departure was for creative differences. In 2015, Faust departed from the Medusa project due to creative differences. ![]() Medusa sets out on a quest to reverse this curse with the help of a goofy team of oddball and misfit mythological creatures who help her learn that what makes you different is, in fact, what makes you strong.” “Her resulting popularity ticks off the wrong Goddess who turns her into the snake-haired monster we all know and fear. “In our story, we meet Medusa as a young human, who, like so many of us, is overwhelmed with trying to fit a certain mold to please others,” Faust said. Medusa's parents elected to expose her to the mutagenic Terrigen Mist when she was an infant the process endowed her with hair she could animate like. As such, Medusa was considered a member of Attilan's Royal Family. Quelin was the brother of Rynda, wife of King Agon. Faust shared a tidbit of the planned story with Variety upon the film’s announcement. She was the first of two children born to Inhuman nutritionists Quelin and Ambur. The film was initially pitched by Todd Alcott and Holly Golden, written as a “heartfelt animated comedy about a girl who’s having the ultimate bad hair day.” Faust’s work on Friendship is Magic is what made Alcott and Golden want her on the project. ![]() This was shortly after Faust skyrocketed to fame with her work on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in 2010. Medusa was first announced in 2014, with Lauren Faust taking up the directing role.
