The story of Stan Lee has been well-documented. Lee, born Stanley Lieber, grew up poor in the Bronx and entered the comic book publishing world at the age of 17 in 1939, working for his uncle at Timely Comics to becoming the iconic creator of many of Marvel Comics' most beloved characters. His story is now coming to the big screen. Yes,
Twentieth Century Fox, the studio behind the X-Men and Fantastic Four franchises, has acquired Lee's life rights with a goal of creating a period action-adventure movie.
The project will be no biopic, but rather an adventure with Lee as the main character... something along the lines of Kingsman: The Secret Service or, as one insider put it, "Roger Moore’s 007."
