Forget the Joker: Leonardo DiCaprio wants to play Stan Lee 

That comes from Stan Lee, who says the Revenant star is eager to play him in a biopic. While at the first ever HASCON, the comic-book legend told attendees that DiCaprio had actually approached him about a potential film.

Believe it or not, I’ve already discussed it with Leonardo DiCaprio. He’s a neighbor of mine and we were talking one day some months ago, and he said, “Boy, it’d be fun to do your story on the screen.” So I said, ‘Well, I’ll audition you.’ Gotta make sure the guy can do it.”

DiCaprio comes across as the more starstruck one in the anecdote, as Lee claims that the actor once chased him down to say hi. Lee isn’t entirely certain DiCaprio is “good-looking enough” to play him, but one thing that is working in his favor is the fact that he “has all the walls covered with big Marvel posters and everything.”
