13. He Wanted to Play J. Jonah Jameson
J. Jonah Jameson was the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle in the Spider-Man series. He hired Peter Parker as a photojournalist to try to snag a picture of Spider-Man, not knowing that his new employee actually was Spider-Man. Lee always hoped that he could play the role of Jameson in one of the film adaptations of his comic but knew that he was too old to be considered for the position.
