Mark Millar: We've been expecting you

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley are joined by comic creator Mark Millar to talk about his new comic series The King of Spies, James Bond, Kingsman and much more. The King of Spies aims to do for Bond what Old Man Logan did for Wolverine, and tells the story of an ageing superspy who aims to right the wrongs of his life in the secret service when he's diagnosed with a terminal illness. On this episode Mark talks about his love of James Bond, including his first experiences with 007, and sharing the series with his kids. He also talks about his love of Sir Roger Moore, self-contained Bond stories and watching Octopussy for the first time recently. He also talks about his hopes for the next incarnation of 007, the future of the series at Amazon, and what he would do with Bond if he was in charge. He also spills the beans on an exciting Bond-themed Kingsman teaser that sadly never got made, discusses his hopes for The King of Spies Netflix series, and how he dreams of Pierce Brosnan playing Sir Roland King in the show. Millarworld's The King of Spies graphic novel will be released on 11 May.

Om Podcasten

Hosted by lifelong James Bond fans – film journalist Tom Butler, journalist Tom Wheatley, and improviser Brendan Duffy – The James Bond A-Z Podcast is an encyclopaedic introduction to the people behind the world’s greatest spy film franchise. Going from A-Z, each episode covers the key creatives and characters from every James Bond film from 1962’s 'Dr No' to 2021’s 'No Time To Die', talking about Ken Adam to Max Zorin, and everything in-between (and yes, that includes 'Never Say Never Again'). The show shines a light on every aspect of the filmmaking process answering many of the questions you always wanted to ask about the 007 films, and we are occasionally joined by guests who offer a unique perspective on the films.
