Mark Millar blev tilbudt "X-Men 4"

Manusforfatteren gider ikke Hollywood.

Mark Millar, der har skrevet den kommende "Kick-Ass", har afsløret, at han blev tilbudt at skrive "X-Men 4", men at han valgte at afvise tilbuddet.

"Fox just offered me X-Men 4... but I turned it down," fortæller Millar til hans hjemmeside. "Why? I love the X-Men movies. The exec at Fox also seemed like a really smart guy who knows exactly what worked and didn't work about the earlier trilogy. He also offered me massive scope with the story and I have an idea I really like, something that takes the franchise in a really fresh direction."

En af grundene til, at Millar sprang over er, at han tilsyneladende er mere interesseret i at skabe nye figurer end at arbejde med allerede etablerede ikoner som for eksempel superhelte.

"I'm having so much fun creating my own characters and enjoying the control this gives you over the comic-books and the movies that handling an established franchise seems odd to me now," siger han. "It's tempting, SO tempting for a guy who's been a fanboy as long as he can remember, but I need to stick to my guns. I want to create the NEXT generation of superheroes over the next few years and going back would, I think, be a mistake."
