What do you figure... Reed abuses Sue and the kids? Jean's a centrefold (nah nah nah, my memory's just been sold)? Cyclops is a serial killer? The Prof is a peeping Tom? Johnny's a drug addict?

I agree with the poster who doesn't want to live on this planet anymore.

I think it'll be fine. I've heard he got the gig because he was friends with the guy who wrote X-Men First Class (i think?) and who they want to do the second one too, or something similar to that. Or maybe not. Or maybe?

Not sure that helps. J.J. Abrams is friends with Akiva Goldsman (look him up on IMDb), and even put him in the new Star Trek movie.
It all goes to prove that good writers can be friends with bad ones; much less, good writers can be friends with sleazy* ones.

* I'm not saying Millar is sleazy, I'm saying he writes sleazy.

Xander: "Dead guy here interrupted our tutorial." (to dead guy) "Been meaning to thank you for that."

Oh well. What can we say, its Marvel. We'll see what he comes up with. Millar seemed excited about it on Twitter, though.

[Phil]

Technically it's not Marvel though; it's Fox.

Well, yeah, why wouldn't he be?

And, as Phil pointed out, yeah, it's Fox - Marvel don't have the film rights to these characters.
