Marvel Comics Characters: Stan Lee Confirms Every Superhero & Villain Will Eventually Be In Movies [NEWS]
On the heels of Warner Bros. and DC announcing 12-14 eventual film releases, Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel characters, announced that eventually, all Marvel characters would most likely make it to the big screen in some capacity of another.
"Every one of them will make it to the big screen," Lee said in an interview with toofab.com. "Right now, the people at Marvel are looking through our whole list of candidates, and wondering which ones they are going to do now."
Lee did announce plans to give at least two new superheroes their own films: Black Panther and Doctor Strange.
"They are going to do the Black Panther. They are going to use Doctor Strange...and they'll probably do the Inhumans," Lee said.
The Inhumans centers on a race of advanced humans created by an alien race to fight another alien race. Some of the characters that can be expected for the group include Black Bolt, whose voice can destroy cities; Medusa, who uses her hair to grab things; and Lockjaw, an alien bulldog with teleporting abilities, according to the New Jersey Star-Ledger.
If these films are produced, they would most likely be a part of Marvel's Phase III films. Phase I included the first two Iron Man film, the first Thor movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Avengers. Phase II rolled out this spring with Iron Man 3, and continues with Thor: The Dark World this fall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier next spring, a possible Guardians of the Galaxy next summer, and The Avengers: Age of Ultron in the spring of 2015.
During his interview, Lee also spoke out about Ben Affleck leaving his Marvel background of Daredevil behind, and signing on with DC to play Batman in the studio's upcoming Batman vs. Superman.
"He's a good actor and I wish him all the luck in the world," Lee said. "He'll probably do a good job as Batman."
