    Marvel Studios Extends Stan Lee Likeness, Name Deal for 20 Years

    You’d be hard-pressed to name another iconic personality as integral and historically important to a franchise as the late great Stan Lee. Not only did he absolutely shape the world of comic books, but his influence is still felt across the superhero genre in film. Having passed away in 2018 at the incredible age of 95, it’s strange to think we may be seeing him in future Marvel Studios projects.

    Today, Marvel Studios announced a 20-year deal to continue to use Stan Lee’s likeness and name in a variety of projects. This includes future movies, shows, VR, theme parks, and “other experiences.” The Disney-owned studio partnered with Genius Brands International and POW! Entertainment to broker the deal.

    “It really ensures that Stan, through digital technology and archival footage and other forms, will live in the most important venue, the Marvel movies, and Disney theme parks,” Chairman and CEO of Genius Brands Andy Heyward said of the news. “It’s a broad deal.”

    “The audience revered Stan and if it’s done with taste and class, and respectful of who he was, it will be welcomed,” Heyward continued. “He is a beloved personality and long after you and I are gone, he will remain the essence of Marvel.”

    Obviously there is a fine line between tribute and ghoulish, as far as using Lee’s likeness in any motion picture or tv project. Honestly, we’d love to see something like “Sessions with Stan” happen, officially.

    We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
