How Does Mark Millar Feel About Marvel Adapting His CIVIL WAR Storyline?
As we know, the third Captain America movie will be based (quite loosely we'd imagine) on Millar's somewhat controversial Civil War comic. What does the Kingsman: The Secret Service writer think about Marvel adapting his work? Click on to find out...
Mark Millar has written some pretty amazing Marvel comics, and though the writer is now affiliated with 20th Century Fox, one of his most (in)famous storylines will be adapted for Steve Rogers' (Chris Evans) third big-screen outing, Captain America: Civil War. Because Marvel Studios don't have access to certain characters that play a vital role on the comic's plot, it's a safe bet Kevin Feige and co. will take quite a few liberties with the story (for how things are rumored to play out specifically, click click here) , and chances are we'll end up with a very loose take on Civil War -- so how does Millar feel about that? Pretty good actually! While speaking to MTV he reveals that he has complete confidence in the studio and is really looking forward to seeing the finished film.
"They’re a money machine, they’re amazing. Whatever they do is gonna be a billion dollar movie and it’ll be great. You know as a fanboy I grew up, since I was 4 or 5 I planned to be Spider-Man. Even now I still think it’s possible! I couldn’t be more relaxed about it. Almost any other studio could screw it up. I’ll just show up on the night and enjoy the film."
Almost any other studio... but not Fox, right Mark? Seriously though, he's not wrong. Some Marvel movies may be better than others but at this stage they've earned the confidence or both fans and critics, and it's hard to imagine them steering too far off course now. Captain America: Civil War is set for release on 29 April, 2016.
