Empire Online managed to catch up with the comic book creator recently and were able to squeeze some details from him about what we can expect to see in the sequel and more interestingly how the character of Red Mist will develop into the "worst of all supervillains". Oh, and he'll be called the Mother[frick]er. Here's what Millar told the site:
"It’s gangs going all over New York filming atrocities on their cell phones and putting them on the internet, trying to outdo each other, all at the behest of Red Mist."
"My idea for Red Mist was to introduce a supervillain that made Heath Ledger’s Joker look like Cesar Romero’s Joker. He’s basically Charles Manson as a supervillain. Chris said to me he hates the fact that people always call him McLovin’. So my aim was to give him a new name for people to call him. And the villain calls himself The Mother[frick]er. Chris is The Mother[frick]er, the worst of all supervillains."
"But at the same time we continue the story of Dave and all the complications in his life as he gets deeper and deeper into this dangerous hobby he’s got where he dresses up as a superhero and gets beaten up every night. So he forms a gang and what you’ve got then is all the heroes versus all the villians in a big gangfight."
What do you guys think about this? With the comic book sequel expected sometime in the coming weeks and the movie apparently only 9 months away from production, stay tuned to CBM for more details as soon as they're revealed!
