Ringo Starr, superhero
Look up in the sky, it's a plane, it's a bird... no it's Ringo Starr.
The former Beatles drummer is going to become a new superhero thanks to comic book creator Stan Lee. He will be 'an evil-battling, earth-saving (though reluctant) superhero with a great sense of rhythm.'
Lee, the man behind the comic books Spiderman, Fantastic Four, the X-Men and The Hulk, will base his superhero on the personality of Ringo Starr and Ringo will voice the character.
Although Ringo has been portrayed as a cartoon character before in The Beatles cartoon and the Yellow Submarine movie, the only other time he has played himself in a cartoon was he guest starred in The Simpsons.
'This is going to be one of the most exciting adventures I've had all day' said Ringo in a statement. 'What a terrific opportunity to meet and work with the great Stan Lee. I'm so excited to become a 'reluctant superhero''.
The project is already underway. "We're in the first stages of creating this soon to be masterpiece. Adding music to this adventure is something I am also looking forward to. See you in animation land"
