Today, The Hollywood Reporter had announced that 20th Century Fox is indeed moving forward with Mark Millers Superior comic book adaption for the big screen. And of course Millars "son he never had" Matthew Vaughn (X-Men: First Class) is attached to direct and write the adaption. This comes off adapting both Kick-Ass and The Secret Service for Mark Millar.
Superior is a lot like DC's Shazam storyline. A child is comes down with a serious illness but an alien grants him one wish. That wish is of course to be come a superhero! of course some bumps and turns happen along the way....
