"I'd love to do something else for Avatar after this"
About this Quote
A single line that’s doing PR, fan-service, and career chess all at once. Mark Millar’s “I’d love to do something else for Avatar after this” reads less like a concrete promise than a carefully placed signal flare: he’s happy where he is, he has ideas in the tank, and he wants people to imagine him as a long-term architect rather than a one-off hired gun.
Context matters because “Avatar” is brand gravity. Whether you’re talking about a big, corporate entertainment property or a prestige sci-fi universe, attaching yourself to it is a bid for cultural permanence. Millar’s phrasing is tellingly non-committal: “love” frames desire, not entitlement; “something else” keeps the ask flexible (spin-off, sequel, ancillary story, consulting); “after this” implies there’s a current, finite engagement he’s respecting. It’s ambition with manners.
The subtext is a negotiation performed in public. Millar isn’t just expressing enthusiasm; he’s establishing value: I’m already in the room, I’m easy to work with, and I’m game for more. It also functions as a message to fans, inviting them to imagine a continuing creative relationship and, in doing so, building a little pressure from the outside.
The intent is strategic humility: he avoids sounding presumptive while still staking a claim. It’s the modern creator economy in one sentence - excitement as currency, optionality as leverage, and a franchise as the stage where relevance gets renewed.
