Originally created by Pierre Christin and Jean-Claude Mezieres, Valerian has sold more than 10 million copies in 21 languages.
Though clearly best known as one of the world's most in-demand supermodels, Delevingne has made the foray into acting in recent years and will star in Warner Bros' comic-book epic Suicide Squad as Enchantress. She also appears in the Peter Pan reboot with Hugh Jackman and plays the lead in John Green's comedy-drama Paper Towns, about a young man and his friends who embark upon the road trip of their lives to find the missing girl next door.
