ONE-STAN SHOW

- W. WILKINSON, WAKEFIELD

Just a thought, but if Hugh Jackman is considerin­g a follow-up to The Greatest Showman, then he need look no further than a biopic of Stan Lee. It could tell the story of a genius visionary, creator, editor, entreprene­ur, self-publicist and latterly actor; and why not a few cameo appearance­s in the movie from Lee’s Marvel superhero offspring? Stan’s now sadly left this planet, but I’m sure he will ‘Rewrite The Stars’. We wouldn’t be surprised to see a movie of Stan’s life before long – although the amount he crammed in, we might need an entire Phase rather than a standalone. Incidental­ly, if Hugh does stick with circus folk for a sequel, one request: more clowns. Another request: It – The Musical. ‘Come Alive (Or Better Still, Dead)’; ‘This Is Me… Arm, Can I Have It Back?’ Cockle-warming!
