Comic book writer Mark Millar—known for
his work on Ultimate X-Men, The Ultimates,
Kick-Ass, Ultimate Fantastic Four, and more—has
agreed to a deal with Netflix that will bring
two shows and three movies to the platform.
The announcement comes a year after Neflix
acquired Millar's comic book publishing company
Millarworld in August 2017.
Since then, the streaming platform has been
developing two series based on his work: Jupiter's
Legacy and American Jesus as well as three
movies: Empress, Huck, and Sharkey The Bounty
Hunter.
Netflix made the announcement Tuesday alongside
the rollout of a new social channel called
NX, which will be used to promote science
fiction and fantasy.
Millar said in a press release:
“My wife Lucy and I are eleven months into
our jobs at Netflix and it’s everything
we hoped for to the power of ten,To see a
movie based on your work every couple of years
is incredibly exciting, but to see them all
happening at once like this and with talent
this high-end is just off the scale.
These are writers and directors I’ve privately
been sending fan-mail to over the last eighteen
months so to be working with them all is just
enormously exciting.
This really is the greatest creative environment
I’ve ever worked in.
I can’t wait to switch on my computer every
morning."
