help Wanted FAQ
How can Wesley and the Fraternity curve bullets in Wanted?
The film treats curved gunfire as an elite assassin technique involving a rapid swing of the weapon as it fires. It is deliberate comic-book physics, not a realistic ability of ordinary bullets or firearms.
Why does Sloan lie about the Loom of Fate?
Sloan discovers that the Loom has issued kill orders for him and other Fraternity members, so he conceals those names and begins choosing targets for profit. He also lies to Wesley about Cross to turn the recruit against his own father.
Is Cross really the villain in Wanted?
No, Cross is Wesley's biological father and is trying to stop Sloan's corrupted Fraternity. Thomas Kretschmann plays Cross, while Morgan Freeman plays Sloan, the leader who manipulates Wesley into hunting him.
How closely does Wanted follow the Mark Millar comic?
The 2008 film keeps Wesley's transformation from an unhappy office worker into a powerful killer but changes much of the comic's world. Mark Millar and J. G. Jones created a story about supervillains, while director Timur Bekmambetov's film centers on an assassin fraternity and the Loom of Fate.
