Jake a ("Marvel")ous Superhero?

Does Jake Gyllenhaal want to be a superhero? Do you want him to be?

The NY Daily News says New Line Cinema is reportedly set on a DC Comic-Captain Marvel franchise along the lines of "Superman" and "Batman." Well you can't have a superhero franchise without a superhero and word is that director Peter Segal and his fellow producers want to snatch-up Gyllenhaal before he replaces Tobey Maguire as "Spider-Man" - since Tobey has all but said he's done with the franchise ("Spider-Man 3" is due to open May 4, '07).

Jake would look sweeeet in some tights. We know he leans that way anyhow. Does anyone think he was "acting" in Brokeback Mountain? I kid. I kid. ;)
