Expect lots of Mark Millar comics to get adapted for the small screen on Netflix.
Expect more Mark Millar comic book projects to make it to the screen, except this time it will be the small screen. Netflix has purchased Mark Millar's Millarworld publishing line, and the plan is to bring its associated characters and franchises "to life through films, series and kids’ shows available exclusively to Netflix members globally."
“As creator and re-inventor of some of the most memorable stories and characters in recent history, ranging from Marvel’s The Avengers to Millarworld’s Kick-Ass, Kingsman, Wanted, and Reborn franchises, Mark is as close as you can get to a modern day Stan Lee,” said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos in a statement. “We can’t wait to harness the creative power of Millarworld to Netflix and start a new era in global storytelling.

Numerous films are currently in development based on the works of "Kick-Ass" and "Kingsman" comics author Mark Millar. Today, one of them has made some progress with "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" screenwriting cousins Brian and Mark Gunn (who are also relatives of James Gunn) coming onboard to pen the script for a film version of Millar's "Jupiter's Legacy".
Millar co-created the miniseries with Frank Quitely in 2013 with the story following the offspring of superheroes, a group of kids who haven't fully lived up to their families' hopes and dreams for them. Instead of fighting crime, they're more interested in partying and endorsement deals.
The film questions how much superheroes are responsible for protecting the world and how much power they should have. It joins the likes of other Millar works like "Chrononauts," "Starlight," "American Jesus," "Super Crooks" and "Empress" which all have film adaptations in early planning stages.
