Steve Wilkie/Netflix Jupiter s Legacy, Netflix s first Millarworld series since buying the comic company in 2017, debuts Friday.
Millarworld s president Mark Millar talked with Insider about the Netflix deal and the series. Jupiter s Legacy is part of Netflix s grander ambitions to develop franchises and event shows.
Comics writer Mark Millar is known for some of Marvel s most talked-about stories of the 2000s. But he credits a 2003 conversation with Stan Lee, the cocreator of some of Marvel s biggest characters like Spider-Man and the X-Men, with inspiring his trek away from Marvel and into a comics universe of his own. Growing up I always wanted to work at Marvel and DC, Millar told Insider during a phone interview last week. But Stan said that every generation needs new characters.
