Says Lee, “We would love to make a Marvel franchise work on the network."
The site adds, "Lee reiterated that he was 'thrilled' by the prospect of hosting Marvel series, citing the showrunners attached to the two adaptations currently in development — Twilight scribe Melissa Rosenberg is working on AKA Jessica Jones, while filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy) and Battlestar Galactica‘s David Eick are shepherding a reboot of The Hulk."
Notes Lee, "I’m thrilled we have Marvel within our family, it’s a superb opportunity for us. If you’re going to bring back a franchise, it’s easier to launch a well-known franchise, but what really distinguishes these are the showrunners — we have A-list showrunners.”
Potentially these two concepts would be ready to go as series for this fall, and Lee points out that there could be others moving forward as well.
