Although Wanted is a comic book adaptation of the same name, Bekmambetov took the liberty of changing some of the mythology but remained true to the tone of the original comics. “It was important for me to protect and to develop the ironic tone of the comic book and to save the unique character of Wesley was important,“ Bekmambetov tells Superhero Hype.
