X-Men: First Class director Matthew Vaughn hasn’t yet decided on his next picture, but according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, there’s a good chance it’ll involve Mark Millar.
Vaughn, of course, directed the film adaptation of Millar’s Kick-Ass in 2010 — and he also co-created The Secret Service with Millar, a recently announced series, illustrated by Dave Gibbons, scheduled for February 2012. Vaughn holds the movie rights to both that and Superior, Millar’s Icon series with artist Leinil Francis Yu, and either one could end up as his next movie.
Speaking of Millar, he’s currently auctioning off the right to name The Secret Service‘s bad guy, with proceeds going to the “St. Bartholomew’s Primary School Pantomime Fund,” in the hopes of paying for a school trip. The auction is here.

Personally, I’d like to see a feature film adaptation of NEMESIS by Millar with Steve McNieven. I’d have to read SECRET SERVICE to see if this is screenworthy.
