Mark Millar, creator of “Wanted” and noted comic book scribe, said in a recent interview with the UK’s Daily Record that Superman may get a reboot. “Mark’s big dream is making a Superman movie. He said: “Since I was a kid I’ve always wanted to reinvent Superman for the 21st century. “I’ve been planning this my entire life. I’ve got my director and producer set up, and it’ll be 2011. This is how far ahead you have to think. “The Superman brand is toxic after that last movie lost Û200million, but in 2011 we’re hoping to restart it. “Sadly I can’t say who the director is, but we may make it official by Christmas.”
