Wanted and both Kick-Asses made money, so i dont think Hollywood cares if it was't that good. He also worked on all 3 Kingsman movies, and 2 of them also made bunch of money. Logan was pretty much based on his story and so were parts of Civil War. I think one failed project in Jupiters Legacy won't hurt him.
Mark Millar is a genius when it comes to networking A-list artists and getting studios to options his comics into movies. Actually writing comics, not so much.
Wanted, Civil War,
Ultimates and
Old Man Logan the comics bear zero resemblance to the superhero blockbusters that they were eventually developed into and if you read them you'd support Hollywood in making that decision.
Him siding with politics being put in comics is no surprise given that it's coming from the author of
Civil War, which set off dozens of screeds by liberals, mad about the Bush presidency, lionizing anti-government law enforcement figures like Captain America and his position that heroes should be wholly unaccountable to a democratically elected government and vilifying Iron Man for being a fascist government stooge. Which is kind of the opposite of their position in the current decade what with #BLM and all that.
Speaking of comic book movies.
A WarnerMedia report reveals that bots and other inauthentic users bolstered the fan-led campaign for director Zack Snyder’s Justice League do-over
www.rollingstone.com
Rolling Stone put out a news article a couple of days ago about how they obtained the results of an internal investigations by Warner Media looking into Zack Snyder and his involvement with the "Snyder Cut"; concluding that Snyder, after absconding with all the
Justice League footage and working on it in secret, surreptitiously hired ad firms, social media managers and bots for the purpose of astroturfing a fan movement for the "Snyder Cut" after the Warner Brothers board of directors told him his 4 hours of super serious grimdark capeshit was "unwatchable", and watching themselves get BTFO by the MCU for 5 solid years, replaced Snyder with sex pest male feminist ur-SJW Joss Whedon.
This is not very unsurprising if you think about it for more than a few minutes: how did the fanbase know that a "Snyder Cut" existed on a pile of hard drives Zack Snyder smuggled out from the WB building other than Snyder disseminating this information to people? The report also accuses Cyborg actor Ray Fisher of coordinating with Snyder in a public media campaign to oust Snyder as well as Johns and Fisher. There was also repeated words about how Snyder vowed to personally destroy Geoff Johns and Jon Berg for not removing their producer cuts off "his cut". At least Snyder didn't work with Comic Book Hut.
Warner Brothers estimates the costs Snyder inflicted on them by leveraging social media to force them to refilm and redistribute the 2017 box office bomb
Justice League to the tune of 100 million dollars. So I don't think there's going to be a return to the "Snyderverse" any time soon and, thanks to this very convenient exclusive leak to Rolling Stone, there's not going to be much of Zack Snyder being allowed near a blockbuster at all, anywhere, ever.
The majority of the NPC mindslaves and opportunistic culture war grifters seeking to hitch their wagon on the Snyder Cut "movement" are predictably framing this as "Zack Snyder ATTACKED by Rolling Stones"[sic].
Unusually, Comicsgate goes against the grain in this by finding itself inadvertently on the side of unlikely figures like MechaRandom and Joss Whedon. Not out of some sort of moral basis, but because Frog gets an equal share of the extremely generous IP royalties Geoff Johns manages to secure using his position of Executive Producer. It never occurs to Frog why Graham Nolan is on his stream complaining about he didn't get paid jack shit in royalties for
creating Bane for the Dark Knight Rises while he got paid 80,000 for
Justice League mentioning Iron Heights prison. Something to do with Johns? Nah, it's because he just must have negotiated his contract better than Nolan.
Let's check in:
Finally, CBR released this call for Marvel to retcon Kamala Khan as a mutant in the comics as well as the MCU, so that this allegedly "breakout" character can escape it's current sales abyss (not very breakout if you ask me) by latching the property onto the X-Men and away from Carol Danvers, who has been rendered a toxic property on account of having "been dogged by largely Comicsgate-generated controversies in comics and on-screen" as well as the disastrous forced Inhumans push, which CBR is now acknowledging as a disaster 8 years after the fact. Very entertaining article on account of the scale of what it's indirectly admitting ("Ms Marvel and Captain Marvel are known toxic properties and commercial failures AND THIS IS HOW TO FIX IT").
