CONDORMAN starred a pre-PHANTOM OF THE OPERA Michael Crawford as Wally, a pompous British cartoonist who transforms into a superhero to face-off with the KGB.
Moviehole's source claims Disney is considering Robert Pattinson for the Wally / Condorman role, but expressed some doubt that the TWILIGHT star would take the part, as "he seems to be into more intellectual things."
Apparently some of the credit / blame for the sudden interest in the property belongs to MARVEL's Stephen Wackler, editor on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, who the insider says is one of the big supporters behind the proposal.
”He, and quite a few others, believe that with Disney now doing Marvel’s movies, they should consider making the character part of the Marvel Universe."
