The Human Fly- The Movie...you'll believe a man can fly (on the back of an airplane)!

Always enjoyed this quirky little '70s series, mostly for the Frank Robbins & Lee Elias art. I'm guessing that this will not focus on The Fly as a superhero, but more on bio of the the pepperoni brothers inventing him. Watch the video to understand that, and wait for the Fly's bus jump.

be great if this were part of the second leg of the Avengers franchise.

I dug that comic when I was in middle school I loved Frank Robbins art....especially when he was on the Invaders...

I don't see how this could be made unless Rojatt (the original, real-life Human Fly) either signed away media rights to Marvel back in the '70s or is also being compensated (I hope for the latter).

Edit: I watched the short movie "Human Fly 101" and am still unclear as to who owns the actual character "The Human Fly." Rojatt worked as a stuntman for the company the pepperoni guy started, but who owns the Fly?

I took it to be the pepperoni brothers as they hired the guy to do stunts, then decided to dress him up (I like when the brother says if he screws up we throw hiom in the river & put somebody else in the suit.)

What amazing news. I loved this character in the 70's but never thought he would make it to the big screen. Now if they can get Nova and Werewolf by Night there, I will be in seventh heaven.

I bought the comic a few times but the whole "because he's real!" tagline confused me as I never saw the character outside of the comic.
