Stan Lee Working on a New, Latino Superhero; Again Confirms Upcoming Black Panther Film

In a new interview on Larry King Now, comics legend Stan Lee hinted that he's working on a new, Latino superhero character, and confirmed that one of the first nonwhite, mainstream superhero character to find traction--Marvel's Black Panther--is working its way to theaters. He also gave his opinion as to whether the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man and Avengers franchises will ever come together in one single film or collective cinematic universe...and did so in a pretty pragmatic, realistic way while maintaining his enthusiasm. "Someday when marvel gets all the rights to them," Lee said. "Unfortunately, legally some other studios have the rights to some of the characters but they'll all come together sooner or later." He also, to Larry King's shock and mortification, briefly touches on the nature of comics's work-for-hire system. It's interesting to watch somebody who isn't used to it learning about this stuff for the first time. Check out the clips below for much more. The entire episode will be available on Ora TV and Hulu at 2pm PST at Ora TV and Hulu.
