American Jesus is risen at Netflix. Creator Mark Millar’s Millarworld announced Monday filming has started on the latest comic book adaptation from Netflix, behind Millar’s Jupiter’s Legacy and the in-development Supercrooks and The Magic Order. The official Twitter account for the Kick-Ass and Kingsman creator announced the start of production in Mexico with director Everardo Gout (The Forever Purge, Luke Cage), who serves as co-showrunner with Leopoldo Gout (Instinct, Molly’s Game).
