Stan Lee is collaborating with the makers of Downton Abbey for a new superhero TV show about a character whose powers are fuelled by luck.
According to The Guardian, Lucky Man will star James Nesbitt – who played Bofur in The Hobbit movies – as a London murder detective who is given a charmed bracelet that allows him to make his own good fortune. Eve Best, Amara Karan and Omid Djalili co-star.
The show will be based on an original idea by comic legend Lee, who explained “Luck has always been a fascinating subject to me, and I am excited to finally share that fascination with audiences around the world.”
Executive producer Richard Fell added “Lucky Man is a different kind of superhero show. Stan has come up with an absolutely brilliant idea; something that we can all relate to. What if you could control luck? Would that be the greatest thing you could give someone, or their worst nightmare? It’s a twist which brings the whole superhero genre right back down to earth.”
