Mark Millar, the creator of the Wanted graphic novel and a producer on its upcoming sequel, recently spoke out on the project.

"As a producer on the thing, I'm excited," he wrote on his message board, adding: "I know who's in it and after doing 342 million at the box office we have [serious] money to spend on everything from cast to crew to script."

Regarding Evan Spiliotopoulos, who will write the sequel's script, Millar said: "This guy is supposed to be really good. He did a GREAT action script recently (on an unproduced movie) and that's what got him this."
