Li Lianjie (李连杰, born April 26, 1963), better known by his stage name Jet Li, is a Chinese martial artist, actor, film producer, wushu champion, and international film star who was born in Beijing, China, and who has currently taken up Singapore citizenship. After three years of intensive training with Wu Bin, Li won his first national championship for the Beijing Wushu Team. After retiring from wushu at age 17, he went on to win great acclaim in China as an actor making his debut with the film Shaolin Temple (1982). He went on to star in many critically acclaimed martial arts epic films, most notably the Once Upon A Time In China series, in which he portrayed folk hero Wong Fei-hung. Li's first role in a Hollywood film was as a villain in Lethal Weapon 4 (1998), but his first Hollywood film leading role was in Romeo Must Die (2000). He has gone on to star in many Hollywood action films, most recently starring beside Jackie Chan in The Forbidden Kingdom (2008), and as the title character villain in The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor (2008) opposite Brendan Fraser. Recently, he appeared in the 2010 film The Expendables.
Back in 1998, Sony was given an offer to buy all the Marvel characters not already taken by other studios. They passed on this $10 million offe, because they thought nobody cared about the other characters, and only wanted Spider-Man, whose rights were held by MGM until 1999. But what if they did take the offer and built a cinematic universe with teams like The Ultimates and Marvel Knights? The timeframe of this would be around 2001 to 2007. Includes characters from other studios at the time (Blade, Hulk, X-Men, and Fantastic Four).
