Marvel will use a CGI Stan Lee

In the latest adherence by Disney to their legacy-desecrating screed of “no one’s ever really gone,” Marvel Studios has signed a new deal to license the likeness of Stan Lee, the terms of which allow for the company to use his image however they see fit – including the possible use of CGI to revive the iconic comic book creator for future MCU appearances.

It is Stan Lee. The man loved attention. He would have approved.

Wait. A company own Stan Lee's figure and they sold him to Marvel Studios? The guy is at rest and they still make money off him?

I think unless someone has specified their likeness could be used, it should not be.

Specifically, I’m talking about holograms/high-CGI, etc.

There’s just something weird about it to me, I’m not sure. An actor portrayal? Sure, cartoons? Ok, I guess.

I would have to think more about this to have a more well formed opinion. Until then, my current opinion should be regarded as under-developed.

Well. . . As weird as it is, I don't think the guy would be mad.

Using him to sell action figures feels wrong but Stan Lee loved showing up to have these cameos and would have loved the idea of his appearance still being used to bring joy after his passing.

This just weird.

IIRC there was a point where they was using his twitter to promote NFT's.

Why would they do that ?

???

This isn't like MJ singing a concert post mortem.. they will use Hologram Stan to "support" what ever direction that Disney takes Marvel..kind of disturbing

It’s ob that they are just going to use his image in the movie opening title screen and stuff like that. They aren’t using a cgi stan lee. They would not even recast black panther.

Dope. He can look like a crazy alien man like grand moff tarkin

Ask him and see if he's cool with it.

Leave the guy alone. Let him rest.

Not cool

It's something of a trend. Even some of the current living actors are being scanned and stored for later use. Once it becomes an industry standard, actors are screwed.

Kind of ironic though, isn't it???

He crated the system of creators ideas just becoming "the company's ideas".

So it would be funny if Stan's likeness just became Marvel's property.

Oh sh**

Ugh. I suppose there is a classy way to do this, and there’s always the argument that Stan himself would’ve been on board in still making cameos or his likeness being used…but damn if the idea doesn’t sit right with me
