Former Marvel Superhero THE HUMAN FLY Headed to the Big Screen

The Human Fly is not one of the two unannounced film projects being developed by Marvel. The studio actually has nothing to do with the film production, as the The Human Fly is a former Marvel Comics character.

The comic is based on real-life stuntman Joe Ramacieri and was licensed and published by Marvel from 1977-1979. It had a 19-issue run, and he interacted with other characters in the universe such as Spider-Man and Daredevil. The Human Fly has the abilities of flight, wall-crawling, super strength, and agility. He also has compound eyes, acid vomit that can melt steel, and wings that are strong enough to deflect cannon fire and sharp enough to cut a dump truck in half.

The rights to the comic were picked up by Alan Brewer and Steven Goldman, and the movie will be executive produced by Eisenberg-Fisher Productions, which is based on the Paramount Studios lot. It was also reported that the script was written by Cirque Du Soleil’s in-house historian, Tony Babinski.

This will be an independent film production, and I'm actually kind of looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I've never read any of the comics, but it sounds like an interesting character. Acid vomit just sounds like an awesome super power to have! Let's hope they put that to good use in the movie!
