Hong Kong-raised director John Woo has been quiet since his 2017 thriller Manhunt.
Venice International Film Festival
When news broke last week that John Woo was joining forces with the late, great Stan Lee, you could practically hear the internet salivating.
The director behind such Hong Kong cinema classics as Hard Boiled and Face/Off taking on a live-action version of Monkey Master, an unreleased 2016 comic series co-written by the Marvel supremo – the very thought of it is a hugely exciting prospect for any fan of the superhero genre.
Woo, who turns 75 in September, is earmarked to produce the project, alongside – among others – Lee’s co-writer on the series, Sharad Devarajan. There’s no word yet on whether Woo will return to the director’s chair too, though he would be a prime candidate to take the job.

Long-Lost Bird Spotted in Indonesia for the First Time in 170 Years
The black-browed babbler, whose scientific name is
Malacocincla perspicillata, is so rare that only one specimen was ever procured and documented, and that was between 1843 and 1848, according to a paper that was published in the Oriental Bird Club’s journal Birding Asia. (Courtesy of M. Suranto)
There is very little recorded information about the bird, including population size or whether the babbler is endangered or not. Currently, its protection status is assessed as data deficient by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
