Millar Writing Wanted 2

Mark Millar has spilled the beans to Newsarama about his plans for the sequel to his Wanted adaptation.

He reiterated his pledge not to write a comic book sequel to the original miniseries, saying, "That six issues were the end."

Instead Millar said he would write some new original storylines that fit into the film's universe, but that will also use some of the elements from the original comics that didn't find their way into the first movie.

"It will be some of the stuff that we didn't utilize from the first book for the movie - like chapters three and four - there will be some stuff from that," said Millar, "so in the loosest sense it will be based on the book, but only very little."

Director Temur Bekmambetov, scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, producer Marc Platt and star James McAvoy are already signed up for the sequel.

James McAvoy Still Wanted for 2 and 3

The Sunday Mirror is reporting that James McAvoy has been offered 12 million pounds to reprise his role in two Wanted sequels. Wanted 2 is already in development, according to Variety.

"The creative team is still working on the challenge of continuing the story after most of the principal characters -- including Angelina Jolie -- ended the original in no position for an encore."

"The writers are at work already, and those creative discussions are taking place."

There's also a Wanted game due out possibly by holiday time, for XBox and PS3.
