Millar addresses 'Superman' rumours

Writer Mark Millar has addressed rumours regarding his involvement with Warner Bros.' next Superman movie.

It was previously reported that the Wanted co-creator believes that his proposed screenplay for the film will not be adapted because the studio cannot afford him. However, Miller now claims that he was misquoted.

"I don't think I said they couldn't afford me now," he wrote on his messageboard. "If I did I was joking because writing Superman would be a massive payday so if I said that I was obviously laughing at the time. It's possible though as I like being glib."

A big screen adaptation of Miller's Kick Ass is currently in the works, due to premiere in April. The creator recently promised sequels to both the movie and the comic book series.

Earlier this year, Warner Bros. and DC Comics were issued a mandate to produce a new Superman film by 2011, following a legal battle with the heirs of the characters' creators.
