Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reps declined to comment last week for our story that the former California Governor may be doing an animated series with producer Andy Heyward based on a superhero character created in partnership with comic book icon Stan Lee. Well, that’s probably because they were in the process of booking the cover of Entertainment Weekly to unveil the new character. Called The Governator, it is a version of Schwarzenegger after he has left the Governor’s office and becomes a crime fighter, Lee told EW. The Governator will run operations out of a secret high-tech crime-fighting center (aka Arnold Cave) under his house in Brentwood and will have a fleet of super vehicles and a closet full of “Super Suits” at his disposal. He will be surrounded by a gallery of sidekicks, including a 13-year-old computer whiz, and supervillains, including G.I.R.L.I.E Men, named after another Arnold-ism.
Schwarzenegger let news of the Governator slip a couple of weeks ago in an interview with a fan site, in which he said: “I am packaging a comic book character right now. I’m going to announce that sometime at the end of March or the beginning of April.” Schwarzenegger is slated to unveil the animated series in a press conference at MIPTV on April 4.

Stan Lee- stop whorring out your status as a comic icon to the NHL, Arnold, and anyone else who thinks of bad ideas. Not a good look..
This is ridiculous
Is it too much to ask for a True Lies sequel? I think he underestimates how much the general public would enjoy seeing him again.
WHY ??????
I’m not sure which of them, Stan or Arnold was the first but I’d say that the both just “Jumped the Shark”!!!!
Isn’t this the dream? Bodybuilder, Movie Star, Politician, Cartoon – what a progression! I think Arnold was born to be animated.
Can Arnold just please take his millions and just. . .go. . .away?

This would have made an excellent April Fool’s joke…but it’s still March.
He said “either the end of march, or the beginning of april”.
April 1st
Sounds like an april fools joke to me
Perfect show open: He’s sitting at his desk, signing legislation (or some other paperwork), and says “De pen is mightier den the sword”. Suddenly, his Governator alarm goes off. He look up (in close up): “Time for de sword!”
