Oh ... as for casting ... why not Ryan Reynolds? He seems to be getting cast in just about everything right now.
Thanks to Chopsaki for the submission.

Slashfilm has a lot more details on this project. Apparently, this movie is actually closer to a biopic about a real-life daredevil called The Human Fly. The comic book series was actually a marketing tie-in for the same daredevil. So this apparently isn't going to be a comic book movie, but more of a look at the real-life stuntman and the promoter behind him. I'm sure there will be something in the movie talking about the comics, but this won't be a comic book movie.
Honestly, it sounds potentially interesting.
I remember that comic book, I started collecting about the time it came out (and don't I feel old now). If this project does get into developement it should be fun to see if Marvel dusts off the old character for a long-overdue update
I thought Fly was villian for Spider-man? I know he is back in the comics right now as a villian.
"The Fly" was actually a lot better character than the "Human Fly" and more deserving of a dedicated movie. "The Fly" was originally an Archies Comics super hero and was licensed by DC in the 90's as part of their Impact line.
He was a stunt guy in the 70's and Marvel made a comic trying to capitalize on the new Evil Kenivel, It was drawn by the great Frank Robbins...so it's not really a comic movie.
Not interested unless it's based on the comic book, at least not yet but if it's a straight up biopic I'm out.
I remember and really like the comic when I was a kid. I seem to remember him teaming up with Ghost Rider also. But will this be a Marvel movie? I remember the comic series was cancelled becuase there was a real life Human Fly who did stunt like climbing buildings and he had the name copyrighted. Which is why marvel . com doesn't have any issues of the series digitized on their website. Or so I remember. May need to clarify that.
