It's definitely no secret that writer Mark Millar is a wanted man these days (or at least he wants you to believe he's a wanted man), what with his comic series Wanted doing very well in theaters and another series of his, Kick-Ass, about to start production -- not to mention all this talk of the guy possibly taking over the Superman franchise from a writing and creative standpoint. We'll get to the latter in just a second, but first up there's Wanted ... and Wanted 2 ... and, wait, Wanted 3, too?In an interview with Newsarama, Millar spoke about how much he's participating in the Wanted follow-up ... and it would seem like he only gave the studio a "very small amount for a story, and that will be used as a basic story that they can build from." He adds, "It will be some of the stuff that we didn't utilize from the first book for the movie – like chapters three and four – there will be some stuff from that, so in the loosest sense it will be based on the book, but only very little." Millar also noted that both part two and part three are greenlit, and that James McAvoy is indeed signed on to reprise his role in both sequels.
Hear what Millar has to say about his proposed seven-hour, Lord of the Rings-like Superman trilogy after the jump ...
Oh yes, it's THAT epic! Millar also recently sat down with G4 to talk all things comic-related, and divulged details on his Superman idea. Seems like he's all gung-ho about it, but I'm sure the studio is entertaining all sorts of ideas from a bunch of different people before settling into the one they want to go with. After all, there are only so many chances you get when it comes to re-booting a franchise like Superman. Check out the G4 interview with Millar below, then feel free to tell us what you'd like to see in the new Supes movies over here.
1. Wanted was the best movie of the summer and I'm so excited to see the sequels.
As far as the Superman reboot --- why? superman returns was great and I just hope that they keep brandon routh.
