Announced during an interview with pop culture UK retail giant Forbidden Planet, Mark Millar (Jupiter’s Legacy, Kick-Ass) confirmed to retailer Forbidden Planet that Emerald Fennell – winner of the 2021 Oscar for Original Screenplay (Promising Young Woman) – will pen the script for Millar’s hotly-anticipated Warner Bros adaptation of his critically acclaimed comic book, Nemesis.
Nemesis is a mini-series co-created by Millar and artist Steve McNiven, first published through Marvel’s Icon imprint about a character whose premise is “what if Batman was a supervillain”. The result was four issues of devious bloody shock and awe. It’s a series not for the squeamish but worth checking out if you haven’t.
Millar said: “Emerald Fennell, who just won an Oscar for best screenplay for Promising Young Woman, has just delivered the latest draft of the Nemesis screenplay, which is extremely cool, especially after the initial development of the movie by the late Tony Scott, who established some amazing visual ideas for the movie!”
Nemesis is one of the few Millarworld IP to not be part of Mark Millar’s deal with Netflix. Recently the streaming service launched their adaptation of Jupiter’s Legacy starring Josh Duhamel.
