- A television version is obvious but might depend on casting and network; a reported 2014 Judgment Day prequel adaptation failed to launch at NBC.
- Samuel L. Jackson is proposed as Milton, followed by enthusiasm for Viola Davis as a female devil. — Van Lathan
- Zazie Beetz or Tessa Thompson are proposed before the idea expands to a full gender flip.
