Just the other day, we brought you the news when Dan Gilroy, screenwriter of the Shawn Levy directed film Real Steel was hired to pen the script for the big-screen adaptation of comic book legend Stan Lee‘s Asian superhero The Annihilator. You didn’t think that addition to everything else on Lee’s resume was going to slow down the spry 88 year-old legend, did you?

Now, Variety reports that Lionsgate has nabbed the rights to an original superhero property created by Stan Lee, that will be written and directed by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, the writers/creators of Smallville. The project which is being kept under wraps is said to be a multigenerational superhero movie that spans several decades. Stan Lee and Gil Champion will produce through POW! Entertainment, which has a deal at Disney.

Lee is said to have approached Gough and Millar with the superhero concept after becoming a fan of Smallville and collaborating with them Spider-Man 2.
