Another week passed by and the hype of [Liberty City] was currently at its peak. In the five weeks of its screening, it had managed to gobble down $487 million, breaking yet another record in the history of Hollywood.

This was the first-ever gangster movie to break past the $400 million mark in this world and had become a Hollywood sensation. There were all sorts of hyped talks regarding the movie, its cast, and of course, the man behind this genius movie, Will Evans himself.

Will had gone to check out the office of the new Marvel Comics. It was just beside Dream Vision’s building and the whole Marvel Comics was renamed Dream’s Marvel, becoming a part of Dream International Corporation.

Entering the newly renovated office, Will couldn’t help but remember the old Marvel office. The place was an utter mess filled with depressed old people. In this office, young and old people alike were running around here and there, the office was clean and modernly decorated.

The furniture was in place and everybody had a laptop for work. As soon as people saw Will, they would cheer and say their greetings. Will replied to them with a smile as he headed in the direction of the office of creation head.

| Editor and Creation Head - Mr. Stan Lee |

Looking at the nametag at the cabin door, Will felt a bit content with himself. This is where Stan Lee belonged, this was his original position and nobody could take him down now.

Knocking at the door, Will heard Stan’s old voice saying to come in.

“Ohhh, Will, you were here? You should have told me before coming.”

Stan Lee, who was working on his computer, immediately stood up as he welcomed Will.

“You don’t have to be so polite, Stan. Talk to me like you would talk to your son, or grandson, I don’t mind.”

Will said as he held Stan Lee and made him sit on his chair again. He went ahead and grabbed a chair that was kept in front of Stan’s working table, put it beside Stan, and sat on it.

“How are you now? Is the work environment suitable for you? Tell me if something is bugging you.”

Will asked with care. Ever since he had met Stan, he couldn’t help but think that if he had a grandfather, it would be just like Stan. And that just made Will care for him even more.

“I am loving it here. You don’t need to worry about anything. Ross is a really good and hardworking man, you did the right thing by appointing him as the CEO. I have already finished rebooting the spiderman series, more like I always had the reboot made, just that I couldn’t bring it in front of the old CEO.”

Stan said. He thought about how he has been getting emotional every day ever since he met Will. His life changed for the better, Will had even warned Stan’s family to treat him better otherwise he would sue them for elder abuse.

To Stan, Will was more like his grandson than even his actual grandchildren. He took care of him in his hard time and saved him from getting kicked out of his only job. Will was like a superhero without a costume for Stan.

“I came here to tell you that I would be making an animated series called [Ultimate Spiderman]. I want to show the quirky side of Spiderman through this series. I’ll be writing the script for the first season myself and after that, I’ll help other writers with directions for the other seasons.”

Will told his plans for [Ultimate Spiderman] to Stan. He wanted to let him know personally how and what changes he would make.

“It’s alright. As long as the original character of Spiderman from the comics doesn’t die with the adaptation, it’s going to work out just fine.”

Stan said with a kind smile. And as if remembering something, he asked.

“What about Spiderman’s character in the movie? Have you thought of anyone for that?”

Stan was a movie lover and he also was up to date with most things in Hollywood. Hence he wanted to ask who Will was planning to get for the role of Peter Parker and Spiderman. After all, it was a character created by him, so he wanted someone who could bring the best out of the character.

“Well, I haven’t gotten any suitable candidate yet. Let’s hope I find the right one before it's too late.”

Will sighed as he said that. He had actually tried to look for Tobey Maguire too, through the talent hunt that DTA had organized. But he himself found it absurd that he was expecting the real Tobey to appear in front of him somehow.

He had even asked Leo if he knew someone like Tobey, hoping they would be class friends in this world too, but Leo had clearly said he doesn’t know anyone like that.

“If you are unable to find a good actor for Spiderman, then you can play the role yourself. I have seen [17 Again] and am sure that since you can act, you can pull off spiderman too.”

Stan said with a smile. Spiderman’s character was quite quirky and witty, so it was an obvious choice to look for a veteran actor. But he felt that if it was Will, he can do just about anything.

Will shook his head at that notion.

“It’s better to find someone else to do it instead of doing it myself. I will already be busy with directing the movie, I possibly can’t go ahead of myself and act too.”

Will rejected the idea. For him, when he thought about Spiderman, actors like Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland popped up in his head. But he just couldn’t imagine himself as a spiderman.

After Will had invested in [Terminator], James Cameron had picked up the pace and quickly set off the project. The movie had already entered its first week of filming and James was busy trying to get all the right angles to shoot the movie.

The lead actor was an A-Lister who had taken a huge chunk of the movie’s total budget. He was an actor from Jenkins Agency named Charlie Hindson. Not only was he famous for his good looks and well-defined physique, but he was also famous for being a well-known playboy of Hollywood, something that Hollywood didn’t lack.

“Let’s practice the scene once before actually playing it. I don’t want to hear James’ bickering again.”

June said to Charlie. Charlie was being a total pain in the ass ever since the start of the shooting and he left no chance to flirt with June, much to her annoyance. It was already surprising how he was shameless enough to hit on June when everyone in Hollywood knew who her boyfriend was.

“Yeah, we can practice together even after the shoot. What do you say? I have got a nice villa in Beverly Hills.”

Charlie said in a cheeky tone. He had been trying to be nice to this chick for the whole last week of shooting, yet this bitch didn’t throw any grass at him.

What was she? A small time actress living off on the fame of her popular boyfriend. What right did she have to act all high and mighty?

Charlie had made up his mind to bring this woman under his legs, and after that he would see how arrogant she was.

“Thanks for the invitation but I must decline it. My boyfriend is waiting for me at home.”

June said in annoyance. She was already getting tired of this guy’s filthy look and so, she put emphasis on the word ‘boyfriend’ when she replied.

Charlie clicked his tongue. He was getting rejected quite hard and the lust inside him just got stronger.

Snickering a little, he replied.

“Sure, your boyfriend is waiting. You must be taking appointments to meet with him with how busy he is. It’s better to go out for dinner with me then go home and wait for him.”

June smiled and said.

“You think too much. Just finish the scene fast so that I can go back home. You see, I am quite busy, unlike someone who has a lot of time in their hands to be gossiping like neighbourhood aunts.”

Although she didn’t show it, Charlie had hit a nail. These days, Will had been too busy. Although she herself was busy, she still had free days where she was all alone, just thinking of Will.

“Haha, sure sure. You know there are rumors that Will Evans is gay or asexual, and that you’re a trophy that he is keeping.”

June immediately slapped Charlie on his cheek, and people around them looked at them.

Smiling, June said.

“You better watch your mouth from next time. You forgot who you are talking about and if you can even handle offending such a person.”

Saying that she stomped off the set towards James’ cabin. Although she didn’t believe any of what Charlie said, the fact that Will and she barely had any personal time had hit her hard, and she wanted a little break to calm down her mind.
