It’s going on 10 years since Mark Miller and director Matthew Vaughn (Kingsman) collaborated on Kick-Ass, the subversive, hyper-violent comic book movie designed to flip the bird at the entire genre.
But in between orchestrating scenes of Red Mist and Hit-Girl shooting the shit, Vaughn confided his original Superman pitch to Mark Millar circa 2008, one which has now been described as an “epic” and “fun” take on the Man of Steel.
Word comes by way of Mario-Francisco Robles (via JoBlo), who interviewed Millar on the latest episode of the El Fanboy Podcast. At the outset, the decorated scribe addressed the latest developments between Warner Bros. and Matthew Vaughn, who would rather pump fresh blood into the fledgling DC Extended Universe than collaborate with Marvel, whose McU continues to go from strength to strength.
He and I are massive Superman fans. I mean, we worship Richard Donner. We love the Christopher Reeve movies.

“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” arrives everywhere tomorrow, and while Disney thought it was probably savvy to officially announce their Fox deal today, perhaps they didn’t anticipate that the conversation would pretty much overwhelm the press cycle. Everyone is weighing in on what this might mean for the future of movies and, at least for the purposes of this article, Marvel.
Bob Iger has already said that Disney won’t try and mess with the R-rated success of “Deadpool,” but the larger question is whether or not a behemoth-sized mouse house would even dare to make something like that movie to start with.

We salute the 10th anniversary of Matthew Vaughn's wonderful Stardust...
“A philosopher once asked, 'Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?' Pointless, really. Do the stars gaze back? Now, that's a question.”
Comic book movies are Matthew Vaughn's speciality. Between Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class and the Kingsman franchise, he's been a constant and eclectic presence as these films have boomed, and if reports are to be believed, his next film could be about either Flash Gordon or Superman.
But going back even further than Mark Millar or Marvel, Vaughn's first comic book movie was his adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Stardust, which arrived in UK cinemas ten years ago this week. Before it was published as a novel in 1999, Gaiman conceived the postmodern fairy tale as a 'prestige' comic; the four-issue mini-series...

Back in 2014 when Matthew Vaughn was adapting lesser-known material for the screen, in the comic series by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, expectations were not exactly sky high. Few really knew what to expect from Kingsman: The Secret Service but even fewer expected the film to be the success it was. Blending a stylish cinematic aesthetic with Brosnan era techno thrills and Moore era comedy, Kingsman boasted crazily inventive action scenes, charismatic comedy that nailed the right balance of homage and parody and featured some enthused performances by a cast fully committed to the spy caper chaos. Naturally, a sequel was guaranteed but as we all know, following up a sleeper hit or big screen novelty can be a difficult task (see: Monsters: The Dark Continent, Piranha 3Dd, Now You See Me 2 and Bad Santa 2). So, has Kingsman: The Golden Circle managed it?
Well, no, it hasn’t...

I’m “biast” (con): hated the first film

Here’s a phrase I do not recall from Kingsman: The Secret Service: “independent intelligence agency.” This is uttered in Kingsman: The Golden Circle in connection with the American counterpart to Kingsman: Statesman, to which we are introduced here. But what does that mean, precisely? It means they’re mercenary spies, doesn’t it? I have a vague recollection of Secret Service mentioning something about Kingsman being funded by the crown heads of Europe, which at least offers a veneer of governmental authority and fealty to law and order — though of course there...

There are so many people that are thought of when thinking of comics. Len Wein may not be one of them, but he should.
Len Wein was a fantastic comic book writer and editor who was partly responsible for some of Marvel's greatest characters, most famous being Wolverine. This year has been a heavy year for comic book fans. A lot of influential people in the comic book world have passed. This one is a big one though and plenty of people are recognizing it. Joss Whedon, Neil Gaiman, Mark Millar, and Brian Michael Bendis are just a fraction of people who have posted on Twitter about their love and recognition for the man.
Besides Wolverine, Wein was responsible for helping make Swamp Thing, Nightcrawler, Colossus, and Storm. In fact, the reboot of the X-Men back in the 70's was largely in part due to him. He was also known...

There's no doubt that the landscape of modern-day comics (and, by extension, comic book film adaptations) would not be quite what it is today without Len Wein, who co-created two of the most intriguing characters in comic book history. It is with heavy hearts, then, that we share the news of the innovative writer and editor's passing at the age of 69.
The news of Wein's passing comes from multiple sources, including DC Comics and Variety. The cause of death has not been announced, but fans of Wein who keep up on his Twitter account know that he has been undergoing surgeries in recent years, including getting a new heart valve in 2016.
After Wein began writing for DC Comics in the late 1960s, there was no looking back, as he went on to make his mark on comic book history by co-creating Swamp Thing with Bernie Wrightson (who also passed away...

Disney's decision to pull their movies from Netflix is just the latest move in a continuing trend of legacy media companies shifting their content to home-grown streaming services, in response to dwindling cable and satellite subscribers. Given that Netflix's core business is delivering movies to consumers, this would seem like devastating news, right? Turns out, Netflix hardly blinked!
Perhaps anticipating Disney's actions, Netflix has made a series of their own announcements regarding original content. In the past couple weeks Netflix signed a deal with TV icon David Letterman, purchased comics/film auteur Mark Millar's Millarworld company, and released new trailers for several of their key productions, like Bright, The Defenders, and Stranger Things 2. Netflix, like HBO, Starz, and Showtime, has long-realized that the future of their business is tied to unique and original concepts, rather than relying upon increasingly expensive, short-term licensing deals for existing movies and TV shows.

Disney’s plan to launch a streaming service in 2019 will end its deal with Netflix, depriving it of titles like “Toy Story 4,” the live-action “The Lion King,” and the “Frozen” sequel. Instead, Disney will seek its own subscribers — and that’s as good as a call to arms.
Everyone knows the future of distribution is in streaming video on demand, and the real money lies in doing it for yourself. Once again, content is king — but content also demands a kingdom.

“It’s high time we got in this business,” Disney CEO Bob Iger told analysts Tuesday. “The profitability, the revenue-generating capability of this initiative is substantially greater than the business models we’re currently being served by.”
Netflix knows this, of course; there’s a reason it spends $6 billion annually on original programming and just acquired Millarworld.

Sparked by a back and forth on Twitter between comic book writer Mark Millar and film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, it appears that Warner Bros may be considering making a Red Son movie. Vogt-Roberts, who directed Kong: Skull Island, said that he had made a pitch to Warner Bros. for the movie, although the idea was shot down, and Mark Millar (who wrote the Red Son comic run) mentioned that two friends of his have received pitches from the studio over the last two months.
According to Den of Geek UK’s “very very very” reliable sources it has been confirmed that this is a live action film that is being discussed, and not an animated one. The outlet spoke with Millar about how serious Warner Bros may be about a Red Son movie:

The Superman story “Red Son” is one of the most innovative and adventurous in comics history: It imagines what would happen if the future Superman had crash-landed not in Kansas, but behind the Iron Curtain. Though it couldn’t be more timely, given the tension between the U.S. and Russia, it’s probably too wild an idea for a movie studio to attempt. Especially now, with Warner Bros. still trying to nail the right direction for the DC Expanded Universe and continue the recent success of “Wonder Woman” with the upcoming “Justice League.” But tweets from Mark Millar, the...

“Did you hear WB pitching directors Red Son? Two diff pals in last 2 months. This truly is Putin’s America,” said Millar. “Wait, really? Because I pitched it to them months ago and was told no. It’s the most punk rock thing the Dceu could do in my mind,” replied Vogt-Roberts.

Welcome to the first instalment of Wolverine Wednesday. Your monthly guide through the world of Wolverine based comics. My main focus will be on the solo adventures of Logan and Laura but I will drop in reviews of other trade paperbacks, mini series and one shots related to the Logan family tree. Kicking things off this month I will get you up to speed on Old Man Logan before a new creative team takes charge with #25. I’ll also be talking the jump on friendly events of All-New Wolverine #19 and the beginning of the new Weapon X ongoing.

Generation X #2
Written by Christina Strain | Art by Amilcar Pinna | Published by Marvel Comics
When looking at recent relaunch of all the X-Men titles there is no question what the weakest link is so far and that is Generation X. So far it is a series that is severely lacking its own identity. Yes there are similar characters that once appeared in past Generation X stories but so far the characterizations have been poor and uninteresting. There are some ideas here that could work. Having to approach the teaching of teenage mutants differently based on their gifted powers could yield a good story if it ever gets to that point.
With some better editing this could have been a much shaprer book. Looking at these two issues there is no reason the story so far should be taking as long as it has been. That may sound hyperbolic for a...

You know, I’m really starting to think there’s some sort of Inception at work involving Samuel L. Jackson and Marvel. Seriously, it’s getting hard to tell where the comics end and the movies begin. As you may recall, Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch based their re-imagining of Nick Fury on the veteran actor’s likeness many moons ago with The Ultimates, so it was quite serendipitous that Jackson was eventually cast for the role of the S.H.I.E.L.D. director in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, as it turns out, the journey continues, albeit with a Star Wars twist.
You see, later this summer, the House of Ideas will be rolling out Star Wars: Jedi of the Republic – Mace Windu, a five-issue miniseries effectively placing the focus on Jackson’s character from the prequel trilogy. Brought to us by the creative team of...

The official red band trailer for Kingsman: The Golden Circle plays exactly the same as the original, albeit with one minor, cheeky alteration.
After showcasing the destruction of Kingsman HQ and Gary “Eggsy” Unwin’s (Taron Egerton) subsequent journey to the States, the promo above wraps up with Egerton’s dapper lead slipping in an F-bomb for good measure. There’s a reason for his unbridled disbelief, of course, as we get a glimpse of Colin Firth’s eyepatch-wearing Harry Hart live and in the flesh, proving that those reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. Turns out a gunshot from point-blank range isn’t enough to topple the seasoned Kingsman after all.
And though it’s a moment of fan service for anyone that’s seen the breakout original, we’re wary that The Golden Circle has revealed too much, too soon. That being said, Matthew Vaughn’s...

Sylvester Stallone recently made his latest adventure into the comic book world with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, but it looks like Hollywood is thinking of using him for future comic book projects as well.
Starlight is a comic book from Mark Millar (Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Wanted), which tells the story of an aged retired Superhero named Duke McQueen who hears the distress calls of a distant planet and decides to put on the tights one last time. The screenplay for the film is being written by Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and it's being produced by Simon Kinsberg (X-Men franchise).
Nothing is official yet, but the rumor originated at Splash Report. They are stating that Stallone is being eyed seriously for the lead role of the old retired superhero. I think it's a role he should take because it seems like a character he'd be great for.

Looks like Sylvester Stallone’s itching for more comic book movies. Currently (well, depending on where you live), the actor can be seen in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and now, we’re learning that he’s being eyed for an adaptation of Starlight, a six-issue series written by Mark Millar. With a script from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story scribe Gary Whitta, the project is finally starting to kick into gear after first materializing back in 2014, and while Stallone hasn’t signed on the dotted line just yet, this is definitely a promising development.
If the deal goes through, the actor would be playing retired space hero Duke McQueen, who’s “called back into action one last time” after saving the universe forty years earlier. Described as both “Flash Gordon meets The Dark Knight Returns” and “Buzz Lightyear meets Unforgiven,” it’s not clear yet how far...

It’s going on two years since Universal Pictures last posted a status report on the movie adaptation of Mark Millar and Sean Gordon Murphy’s Chrononauts, but today brings word of what is arguably the project’s most exciting development yet.
Deadline has the scoop, confirming that playwright and screenwriter Philip Gawthorne (Kojak, Cube) has now signed on to adapt the graphic novel for Universal. Chris Morgan of The Fast and the Furious fame will help produce the feature film, which chronicles a “time-traveling adventure that follows two fun-loving, scientific geniuses (Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly) as they embark on the world’s first time-travel experiment.”
Sean Gordon Murphy and Mark Millar are also on board to produce, which ought to ensure a fairly faithful adaptation. And though Chrononauts is still simmering in the formative stages of development, the latter took to Twitter to share his dream casting: Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth.

Director Nacho Vigalondo’s Colossal is as eagerly anticipated as it is bonkers, telling the tale of a heartbroken young woman who returns to her home town to discover she’s inadvertently controlling a gigantic kaiju monster that’s busy destroying Seoul. This kind of thing is par for the course for Vigalondo, who’s previously put out the trippy mystery Timecrimes and suspense-thriller Open Windows. His is a star on the ascent, then, but what would be his dream project? Why, an Alien sequel, of course!
Screen Rant interviewed Vigalondo at SXSW about his cinematic ambitions, and he revealed a couple of nuggets of info. First is a discussion of his adaptation of Supercrooks, a comic he co-wrote with Kick-Ass author Mark Millar. It’s a heist story with a twist – it’s being pulled off by a gang of supervillains. The comic has received rave reviews thus far...

As much as we’d love to have superheroes here in the real world to help us through the darkest of times, we have to accept that it’s unfortunately not going to happen. Still, that doesn’t mean these characters can’t inspire, effectively bringing out the best in us when our fellow man needs us most. Thankfully, this notion isn’t lost on the talented people who currently bring these icons to life, thus bringing about Love is Love.

Although it’s no where to be found on the already announced released, and Warner Bros. are obviously more concerned with uniting the Justice League, Man of Steel 2 is on the studio’s radar, and some baby steps have been taken with the the still in development sequel, with Collider reporting that Kick-Ass and X--Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn is being courted to take the helm. The site cites sources that say that negotiations are in the very early stages at the moment, but Vaughn is Warner Bros.’ top choice for the job, and if there is some reason Vaughn passes on it, they do want him to direct a movie in the Dceu. No surprise, really. Considering his track record with super hero movies, why would you not on board for your super hero universe. This isn’t the first time Vaughn’s name has been associated with Superman,...

Apparently Man Of Steel 2 is still heading our way, and it looks like WB has their eyes set on a new director to join the fold!
Man Of Steel was the beginning of what we now call the Dceu, the DC Expanded Universe. With small easter eggs for fans hinting at a Batman and many more of the DC comicbook characters. The film was met with mixed to positive reviews for the most part. As the world expanded through the films sequels with Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and now on the heels of Wonder Woman, it looks like WB is ready for the official sequel to the solo Superman film. With the prospect of a Man of Steel 2 they have already set their eyes on a new director to join the universe. None other then Kingsman: The Secret Service helmer, Matthew Vaughn.

From the terrific to the tenuous, here is our spotter’s guide for Easter eggs and nerdy nods in Logan...
This article contains lots of Logan spoilers.
Logan has finally arrived. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Dafne Keen, James Mangold and the writers Scott Frank and Michael Green have served up a brutal bloodbath of a movie that still manages to have a heart. It’s by far the best solo Wolverine movie, and it’s been certified fresh among critics. Hurrah!
Part of the brilliance of Logan is how it’s slave to no continuity. There is no post-credits scene and no mid-credits scene, and the stars of the other X-Men films on Fox’s slate are notable only by their absence.
With that separation from the rest of the series comes a filmmaking freedom that’s never been allowed in a Wolverine movie before. You get blood,...

It started with the title – a simple name, not Wolverine IV, or the X-man's handle with an overblown subtitle attached to it, or even something akin to The Wolverine, which included a definite article lest you confuse him with other sharp-clawed mutant superheroes. Then came the first trailer, a stark preview set to Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt." There was no "in a world ..." narration, no giant robots, no costumes; Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier briefly showed up, as did a mysterious man bandaged up like Claude Rains and...

Is Wolverine getting old? Think of this renegade, genre-defying chapter in the film franchise as X-Men: The Aarp Years. Don't panic: Logan is a hard-ass, R-rated rager that explodes with action. But what makes it indelibly raw and touching is the sight of mutant heroes raging against the dying of the light. The year is 2029, and the X-Men have gone the way of the T-Rex. No mutant births have been recorded for 25 years. The artist formerly known as Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) is now a boozer who limps, wears glasses...

MaryAnn’s quick take… The X-Men series — the entire superhero genre — has never seen a film like Logan before: raw, rageful, tormented, human. Best of the series yet. I’m “biast” (pro): mostly love the X-Men movies; love Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
With their extended metaphor about mutation as a stand-in for all the many reasons humans find to be bigoted toward other humans, the X-Men stories have always been perhaps the most grounded of the superhero universes, at least in their exploration of what it means to be “super” in a world where “super” is feared and hated, where “super” is ostracized. The mutants of X-Men are just ordinary people with unusual talents that, for the most part, they have to hide, and the movies in this series — of which we have had 10, counting this one,...

Old Man Logan, Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s brooding eight-issue comic book, was consistently name-dropped throughout the course of development on James Mangold’s Logan, as the writer-director went about crafting a somber, yet fitting finale for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
The result? One of the more nuanced, compelling superhero dramas to claw its way onto the scene in recent memory, according to our own Matt Donato, and the critical consensus reveals that Logan is the moody, R-rated Wolverine vehicle fans have been frothing for since Jackman first unsheathed those adamantium claws more than a decade ago. But soon after Hugh Jackman took to Twitter to tease “The Original” Wolvie back in January, there’s been another moment of potential fan service hot on everyone’s lips: Wolverine slipping into that iconic yellow suit.

In recent years, top-tier writers from both Marvel and DC have jumped ship to Image Comics or similar publishers to work on creator-owned content, and that's left the former in something of a dilemma. Whereas DC has held on to plenty of big names, Marvel has lost the likes of Mark Millar, Jonathan Hickman, Matt Fraction, Rick Remember, Warren Ellis, and more, but that could now change. According to Bleeding Cool, Marvel has acknowledged the fact that readers are gravitating towards certain names (hence why Image is doing so well these days, and they're now planning a change. The site says that they're, "Taking time to line up big-name talent, new and old, across the board for a series of big name titles in 2018, to be created well in advance to avoid the shipping issues that can often affect such in-demand creators." That's exciting news, but buried in another report,...
