Millar is currently wrapping up his upcoming Kick Ass film. Millar has stalwart desire to write a trilogy of “Superman” films as part of Warner Bros’ planned reboot of the “Superman” movie franchise.
Unfortunately for Millar and his fans, it looks like he won’t be getting near the boy scout anytime soon. In a recent post on his message board, Millar wrote that the WB’s “Superman” plans “seem to be in stasis right now.”
“Warner’s talked to us and a few other writer/director teams, but things seem to be in stasis right now,” wrote Millar. “As far as I understand, nothing is happening with Superman at the moment and so the director and I are just working on another project. If it happens, great. If it doesn’t, no biggie.”
But the writer of the hit movie Wanted, is already looking on the bright side.
“Kick-Ass taught me that creating your own stuff can be at least as much fun and you don’t have to answer to anyone,” he concluded. “It’s the future, baby.”
Millar’s already had a significant amount of creator-owned successes with “Kick-Ass” and “Wanted,” though he seemed incredibly passionate about taking a go at Supes. About a year ago, he released his planned trilogy as a Lord of the Rings style epic that would eventually end with the Man of Steel as the last man on Earth.
But, it appears that Millar’s the last man on Earth for the writing job when the WB green lights a new Superman film.
