'Stan Lee, The Action-Adventure Movie' Coming From FOX

Twentieth Century Fox have acquired the rights to comic book creator Stan Lee's life story but they are not planning on making a documentary or a biography, but an action adventure movie.

Lee has created countless Marvel Comics characters who have appearance in numerous movies but never before has his own life been done as whats being described as "being in the tone of Kingsman: The Secret Service, or as one insider put it, “Roger Moore’s 007,” with Lee as the hero with an alter ego."

Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are attached to produce with Lee and Gil Champion, Lee's partner at POW! Entertainment, executive producing the project. The studio is still feeling out writers for the script.

Born Stanley Lieber, Lee entered the comic book publishing world at the age of 17 in 1939, working for his uncle at Timely comics. He dream was to write the “Great American Novel” and wanted to quit but his wife convinced him to give write the comic ideas he wanted as one last shot at the business. In doing so, Lee co-created The Fantastic Four, which launched the Marvel Age of Comics. Lee went on to such created characters as Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, The X-Men, Iron Man, The Hulk and many more.
