Set after the events of Chrononauts, the story sees Danny Corbin using time travel to attempt to improve the quality of his prom night.
[12] Recruited by billionaire Dr. Edison Crane and "Bobbie Griffin", Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly must face off against the Secret Lord of Earth and leader of the Fraternity of Super-Criminals Wesley Gibson, and save all the world's superhumans he wiped out, as his father had once done in 1986, in addition to facing off against the prehistoric Royal Empire, their fleet brought to the present by Mindy McCready.
[13] In March 2015, Universal Pictures optioned Chrononauts for a feature film adaptation, to be produced by Chris Morgan under his Chris Morgan Productions banner, with Mark Millar and Sean Murphy executive producing,[15][16] with one actor attached to star by May,[17] and Philip Gawthorne joining as screenwriter by April 2017.
[18] That same month, Millar revealed that prior to becoming a comic, Chrononauts had been intended as a short film, before he was asked by a "pal at Universal" (who ultimately left the company) to develop it into a comic that could then be adapted into a film starring Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth, but that the duo were not guaranteed to be cast as the titular characters, since no casting would take place "until a script is done and dusted".
[19] In August 2017, Netflix acquired the Millarworld imprint of creator-owned titles,[20] with the Chrononauts feature film consequently entering development hell.
