Kitty Pryde Movie ‘143’ Still In Development, Writer Brian Michael Bendis Offers An Update

There you have it, from the writer himself: 143, the Kitty Pryde movie that’s supposed to be directed by Deadpool filmmaker Tim Miller, is still in the works. As we reported nearly a year ago, 143 is likely a code name, referring to Uncanny X-Men No. 143, one of the first solo Kitty Pryde stories, in which the character goes head-to-head against a demon inside the X-Mansion, AKA Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters.
Bendis is a talented writer with an impressive resume – he created Mile Morales and Jessica Jones, for instance. His involvement with this project is promising. The only wild card here, at least in my opinion, is Tim Miller. I’m assuming Miller is still involved with the project, and that doesn’t inspire much confidence in me, as I don’t think Miller is a very good filmmaker – at least based on his work on the first Deadpool. He’s currently working on the new Terminator film, and perhaps that will reveal his true potential.
