Firefly
Nathan Fillion isn’t as essential to aFireflysequel as some fans may think.
The series takes theFireflyfranchise into the future while mixing new characters into a new story supported by legacy acts.
With Reynolds largely absent from the series, it shows how theFireflyfranchise can confidently move on from Captain Mal.
Besides this small glimpse,Firefly’soriginal star never appears in ‘Verse.
It makes it all the easier for readers to accept a new star entering the lead chair.
It would be increasingly difficult for any production to venture to work around the schedule of its leading star.

Is There a New Role for Malcolm Reynolds Post-Serenity?
The same could, theoretically, be said for Fillion.
Firefly: Brand New ‘VerseandFirefly: Malcolm Reynolds Year One#1are available now from BOOM!
Set in the year 2517, Firefly follows the crew of the Serenity, a smuggling ship operating on the fringes of Alliance space. Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) is a veteran of a civil war, bitter about having fought for the losing side and now making his living as an outlaw smuggler out among the distant colonies forgotten and ignored by the Alliance. However, after taking on paying passengers, Mal finds himself caught up in a conspiracy likely to bring the whole Alliance military down on him and his crew.
