Tim Miller opens on the X-Men horror movie who almost made: “Home only meets Alien”

While Marvel fans impatiently await the return to all respects X-Men In the MCU, there is always a persistent curiosity for the mutant stories that have never been able to screening.

One of those lost gems was a Horror film by Kitty Pryde launched by Dead Pool director Tim MillerSomething that he described as “home alone meets Alien”.

In a recent chat with the Hollywood Reporter, Miller revealed that once he had developed an X-Men movie based on Incredible X-Men #143 of Chris Claremont AND John Byrne.

The story focuses on a young Pryde kitten left alone in the job during the holidays. While the rest of the team takes a break, a demonic creature of N’Gagai infiltrates the house, leaving Kitty to face it in a terrifying survival scenario as a soloist. No backups. No wolverine. Only kitten and a lot of chaos induced by monsters.

Miller spoke of the project, calling the Montors of the Marvel their “secret weapon” and shared how passionate about the opportunity he was:

“The X-Men are my favorite characters and I wrote to Kevin Feige as” if there was something you would have ever let me do in the Marvel universe, the X-Men would have been. “”

At some point, the project was actually taking shape. Miller was destined to direct and the script came from the legend of the comics Brian Michael Bendis. This was around 2018, just when Kitty was enjoying a race as Star-Lord in the guardians of the Galaxy Comics written by Bendis himself.

But the timing is everything and this project was swept away during the fox-disney merger, joining the ranks of projects for never done as Gambit, Multiple manand Fantastic Four Crossover.

While Fox is New mutants Flirted with horror, Miller’s socket would have been something totally different … intimate, suspense and focused on creatures. A movie of mutant monsters set entirely within the former-mansion? It is difficult not to imagine what could have been.

However, Miller is not giving in regret. He is grateful for the wild lap he has already had:

“I didn’t expect to have my study, or to make terminator: dark fair. Being able to love death + robot is probably my result I am very proud of. I am old, but I have not yet finished.”

I love the idea of ​​Kitty vs. Demon in an infested residence! It looks like a fun movie and the type of Twist Superhero genre that superhero movies still need.
