Hitting the crime-ridden streets of London in Stan Lee’s Lucky Man

Character Witness

“harry’s a complicated character. he’s a cop, but very flawed. he’s lost everything as a result of his gambling. But he does have a strong moral compass. he believes in the difference between right and wrong, good and evil.”

Fortune and Glory

“he’s always been very unlucky, but after a strange encounter harry ends up with this bracelet which gives him the ability to control luck, which is actually what stan lee thought would be the best superhero power to have. at first it’s amazing because he is able to use it for his own devices, but he soon realises that with the ability to control luck comes huge responsibility.”

Secret Origins

“you find out why and how [the bracelet] has come into existence. you can see certainly why people are desperate to have it and why it’s important that it is with the right person. at times it is in the background as the crime element takes over, but it’s all connected to the bracelet.”

Life Of Crime

“it spans 10 weeks and i think people will be as intrigued by the thriller element. We have an underworld crime supremo trying to take over london, and that really has got the hue of a superhero story to it, but also the crime stories are i think quite interesting.”

hard target

“the cases are more or less grounded, but there’s always the element of the bracelet and how harry uses it to unravel the stories. But quite often the stories will involve people who are aware of the bracelet. it’s like the Grail, people are desperate to use it for their own evil deeds.”

Stan Lee’s Lucky Man airs on Sky 1 from early 2016.
