Talking to Alibi, the legendary comic book creator briefly shared his thoughts on the rise of comic book movies, as well as the current and future adaptations currently being made by Marvel Studios. Below are a few of the most interesting excerpts from the interview, but to hear more about Stan's other projects and much more, click the link below to head on over to the site.

On Seeing Comic Books And Their Movies Become So Popular:

I always knew they were—but never dreamed there’d be a time when the whole world realized it, too!


On THOR:

It was indescribably wonderful. Any description I could give you would fall far short of the true emotion!


On A Cameo In The Avengers And Joss Whedon:

I hope so. It’s up to the director, but I heard he’s considering it.I met Joss years ago when he was nice enough to make a short speech when I received an award. But we have not met since. I’m really looking forward to seeing him later.


On Which Of His Characters He'd Most Like To See Get The Big Screen Treatment Next:

Dr. Strange. But I’ve a hunch he won’t be left out much longer.


On Whether He Held On To Any Classic Comic Books:

Sorry you reminded me! Unfortunately I was never smart enough to save the original books years ago. Believe it or not, I—of all people—have never really been a comics collector because I let my big chance slip by!


With an all star cast which includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Rufallo as Bruce Banner, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Tom Hiddleston as Loki, The Avengers is set to be released on May 4, 2012!

What with the eye of agamotto showing up in Thor & Stan Lee claiming he has a "HUNCH" we won't have to wait too long, I think Dr. Strange is just around the corner.
Perhapse after the Avengers :D

My proctologist likes to be referred to as Dr. Strange……I always feel a little ashamed after I go and see him……

Dr. Strange would be great. The animated Dr. Strange movie was FANTASTIC. It was definitely the best Marvel animated flick.

I'm still campaigning for THE STARJAMMERS. C'mon movie execs, take these "b-listers" and make movie gold - remember: Blade was a long shot

It's a shame Marvel doesn't have all the character rights, cause I would love to see a post credit scene involving the Iluminati after the Avengers...

Now, I'm not positive, but I think I saw what could have been the Eye of Agamotto in the Asgard weapon room in Thor. Well, it was definitely some kind of eye on a pedestal.

There are many many fine actors who could play Dr. Strange.

@DDD - two great choices there!

Personally I want one of my favourite bad guy actors to play the good guy for once.

Jason Isaacs for Dr. Strange!

@Nephillim Yes it was the eye of agamotto. Just google 'eye of agamotto thor'.

@ GrimeKid That's not the eye of agamotto, it's the warlock's eye.

Wadey09 - 5/26/2011, 8:27 AM
@Grimekid,
that is not the Eye of Agamotto.
that is the Warlock's Eye which was featured in Thor a while back. think about it. that eye is very large. how would Strange wear it???
GrimeKid
GrimeKid - 5/26/2011, 8:47 AM
@TheDarkKnightWing & @Wadey09 Damn it! Being wrong once is embarrasing. But being wrong twice, about the same thing, is devestating.

Sorry guys. You're right.
Thank God for Google.

More evidence to show it was the Warlocks Eye. Go down the forum and you can see that the comicbook illustrations look almost exactly like the Thor movie prop.

I don't know much about Strange. will have to go read some old comics, see what he's all about.

I'd rather not see Depp though. @Ron, I like your idea of picking a bad guy thats a great actor and deserves a shot as a good guy.

catman - 5/26/2011, 11:02 AM
my feeling on Dr Strange is he aint well known enough to get his own movie but I said that about Thor too and Marvel did a great job getting us all hyped for that... I wanna see Namor

i have a feeling there will be some kind of refrence made to him in avengers.. if not that then i can bet there will be something in iron man 3 for him
blahblahboy
blahblahboy - 5/26/2011, 12:21 PM
IT'S NOT THE EYE OF AGAOMATTO, GOOGLE "WARLOCKS EYE IN THOR COMICS" AND YOU'LL SEE THAT IT IS IDENTICAL TO THE WARLOCKS EYE FROM THE ORIGENAL THOR COMICS!!!!!!!

They may reference him, or possibly give him a cameo if were lucky but nothing more.

Depp would be an awesome Dr. Strange and he would cause more people to go see it (since Dr. Strange isn't that well known) since he's so big of an actor

cerrone6 - 5/26/2011, 6:37 PM
@ blahblahboy I believe you are correct when saying that it isnt the eye of Agamotto, But if it is the Warlocks eye could it mean there will be some possible reference to warlock in upcoming Avengers or Thor 2? possibilities are endless at this point.
I think what ever the movie storyline will be Marvel will sure to be on point and keep continuity
