You could've referred to
Mark Wahlberg ("The Gambler") as the billion dollar man based on the box office performance of his last film
Transformers: Age of Extinction. Apparently, that wasn't good enough for Marky Mark as we'll be referring to him as
The Six Billion Dollar Man in the near future. Last month, is was reported that Wahlberg would team up with his
Lone Survivor director
Peter Berg ("Hancock") for a film adaptation of the 1970s television series
The Six Million Dollar Man, aka The Bionic Man, which starred Lee Majors ("The Fall Guy").
Wahlberg briefly spoke of the project with Collider:
Any plans for you to be a superhero in the future?
WAHLBERG: We’re talking about doing Six Billion Dollar Man, which is very much a superhero, but I don’t have to wear any kind of spandex cape. So that would be cool. Howard Gordon is writing the script and people are talking about doing it, but we got a great, great idea and it’s something that’s been in the pipeline for quite some time, so hopefully if we get the script right maybe we’ll make it after we do the Deep Water Horizon.
