The Governator is both a comic book and a proposed animated superhero action comedy developed and produced by Stan Lee and co-developed with Arnold Schwarzenegger.[1][2] The series would have featured Schwarzenegger voicing an action hero version of himself fighting crime with wife Maria Shriver and the couples' four children.[3]
Following a series of upheavals in his personal life, including his pending divorce from Shriver, Schwarzenegger announced on May 19, 2011, that he was placing his acting career on hold.[4] In the face of this announcement, a representative for the production companies involved announced that the television series was on hold but did not specify whether the hold was temporary or permanent.[3]
