Yes, you read the title correctly, Marvel is going to go out in the West theme film, the protagonist is Sun Wukong, and the director is Wu Yusen! On April 2, according to foreign media reports, the famous Chinese director in Hollywood will be working on a new Marvel film, which will be starred in a superhero from China, Sun Wukong, a movie called "Monkey Master" that is already in preparation, adapted from the unpublished comic of the same name by "Father of Marvel" Stan Lee.
Stan Lee died in 2018, and two years before he said goodbye to the world, he left comic fans with the huge book Monkey King, a comic book series that was not released to the public, but rumors about it have been raging. Although the protagonist of the comic is Sun Wukong, Stan Lee, who has always had a big brain hole, has changed his image as usual, and his story framework is very different from the traditional "Journey to the West".
According to information provided by the Hollywood Reporter, the story of "Monkey King" travels through ancient times: a Chinese archaeologist living in New York, he discovers an ancient prophecy about the reappearance of Sun Wukong, so he runs to India, the destination of Wukong's journey to the west, where archaeologists discover a hidden power, thus turning him into a modern superhero - the Monkey King.
Wu Yusen said in a statement that he had always wanted to make a Movie of His own Sun Wukong, but he had been trying to find a new way to get into the story. "Stan Lee's story is a unique version that blends myth and legend and modern characters on a journey through India and has all the elements I love in filmmaking – characters with strong personalities, action and adventure," he said. "I'm excited to bring Stan Lee's version of Monkey King to the silver screen."
Stan Lee had talked about the idea for the movie Monkey King in an interview before his death. He said that this is a film with Chinese and Indian elements, it is based on Chinese and Indian myths and legends, and is expected to start writing in 2017, unlike other heroes born in comic books, "Monkey King" directly skipped comic book publishing and was directly filmed into a movie. At that time, Stan Lee also thought that the film would be directed by a white person, and this time it was handed over to Wu Yusen, which was also expected by everyone.
