Stan Lee signs deal with Disney - Image 1


BBC News reports that Disney has made a deal with Stan Lee to create an arrangement of new super heroes. The ideas that the Marvel mastermind comes up with will be used by the company to create new films, games, books, and comics, among others. And so far, he has enough ideas to whet Disney's appetite.

"I've got millions of them. I have file cabinets filled with ideas for movies and television shows and all sorts of things. I've been waiting to be associated with someone like Disney so I can start tearing into these things," said the 84-year-old comic creator.

Disney Studio chairman Dick Cook confirmed that the deal they signed was laid out for Lee to create characters and projects that Disney could use as franchises. Other studios have already made US$ 3.5 billion in profit from the X-Men and Spider-Man movies, while the upcoming Fantastic Four sequel and The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, and Nick Fury movies are expected to do well, too.

Pow! Entertainment, owned by Lee, claimed that they had almost two dozen characters in active stages of development, with names like El Lobo, Chameleon, Thunder Rider, Whirlwind, Doubleman, Nightbird, and Blaze. There are about 20 more in early stages of development, while another 40 will be introduced later on. BBC reports that Disney will not create a Stripperella film.

Stan lee is the man! I was watching a special feature on the first spiderman dvd and when asked how he came up with spider man he replied "I was trying to make a superhero and I thought 'flyman' but that was boring, so I tried 'bugman' but that didn't sound right, then I saw this big spider crawling on the wall, and dang namit that was it!!! 'SPIDERMAN!' and enuff said." LMAO LMAO OMG, I almost S4!T my pants when he said that! IT's like d00d, you know he was suckin back the sweet green when he thought of that.
