Marvel legend and 'Daredevil' co-creator Stan Lee is following the successful opening of
Daredevil by striking a deal for his next film project -
Forever Man, according to
Hollywood Reporter.
Based on his own idea, the project will be produced by Lee through his POW! Films along with the newly launched Idiom Films. Screenwriter Luke McMullen has been drafted to write the screenplay.
Lee opted to keep the specifics of the 'Forever Man' plot under wraps, though he did say it will center on superheroes in a "different type of situation" than such previous comic adaptations as
Spider-Man and
Daredevil.
"It has to do with crime and punishment in the not-too-distant future and a unique way of punishing people who are menaces to society," Lee said, adding that he came up with the story in two days. "It's a concept that hasn't been seen before, with tremendously interesting villains with unique powers."
