‘Stan Lee wanted a Chinese superhero movie’
AMERICAN comic book writer Stan Lee had wanted to make a Chinese superhero movie, said Hong Kong movie star Jackie Chan who met the Marvel legend some years back.
“I was like a fan meeting my idol. He told me that he wished to produce a Chinese superhero movie with me,” Chan said in a Weibo posting.
Stan Lee passed away at the age of 95.
“All these years, we had hoped to fulfil the dream. Goodbye, superhero! Thank you for leaving superhero dreams to all the audience,” he wrote in his tribute to Lee, who died on Tuesday.
China Press reported that Chan had met Lee some years ago in the United States.
