Marvel reached an agreement with Genius Brands International and POW! Entertainment to revive Stan Lee.
The contract will last 20 years and will guarantee that the company will be able to use the image of Stan The Man in the projects and formats that it wants.
The trailer for “She-Hulk defender of heroes” was released yesterday and some are already speculating that the character’s first appearance could be in that series.
Marvel will seek to revive Stan Lee from CGI technology. Today it was announced that the company has signed an exclusivity contract with which it will be able to use the image of The Man in audiovisual media.
Marvel has become one of the most successful companies in the world, being the first studio in history to set up its own cinematographic universe for more than ten uninterrupted years (with the exception of 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic).
Likewise, its strategy of a “connected” world has led it to occupy four of the ten positions among the highest-grossing films in history.
Much of this success is due to personalities such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and, of course, Stan Leewho possibly returns to make cameos even after death.
Marvel reaches an agreement to revive Stan Lee and this is how his fans respond
Marvel Studios announced that it has reached an agreement with Genius Brands International and POW! Entertainment to use for 20 years the image of one of the creators of Marvel since its inception.
Stan Lee, who traditionally made cameos in franchise films, passed away in 2018, his last appearance being that of “avengers end game“, where he played himself.
However, thanks to this new agreement, the company has permission to revive the father of the company and use it in all the media it wants, including the Disney theme park, comic strips and, mainly, as a CGI recreation so that it continues to appear in the films and series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
However, although for some this news has become a significantly positive tribute, for some others it was considered a rather disrespectful strategy considering that the writer has already died.
These were some of the comments that could be read on Twitter:

The way that these corporations have picked apart and corporatized Stan Lee and his legacy is so abhorrent, they’re like vultures. https://t.co/dm5V7HenWp

The actress will play Jennifer Walters, the cousin of Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo).
