Get Ready for a ‘Stan Lee Universe’ of Shows and Movies That Has Nothing to Do With Marvel

In the months leading up toStan Lee ’s demise , the comics legend was tangle in a telephone number oflegal disputesboth against item-by-item multitude andcompanies as a whole , like Pow ! , the entertainment production outfit Lee co - ground that he also sued in 2018 to the tune of $ 1 billion for allegedly mould Lee ’s signature so as to acquire “ single right hand to utilize Lee ’s name , identity operator , image , and likeness . ”

Though the suit against Pow ! was finally shake off , it seems as if the ship’s company ’s at long last go to get its compliments of being able to rap into Lee ’s celebrity for jumpstart and whole new slew of culture medium projects that no one in particular was asking for .

PerThe Hollywood Reporter , Pow ! Entertainment has partner with Genius Brands with plan to begin bring out a slate of picture show and and television system series based on Lee ’s creator - have properties . Though all of the new projects will run heavy into the fact that they ’re based on Lee ’s intellectual property , it ’s important to take note that nothing about the partnership will focus on on Lee ’s creations that are currently owned by Marvel and Disney .

alternatively , Pow ! and Genius brand are focused on create a kind of bombastic “ Stan Lee Universe , ” which sounds on the button like the sort of endeavor that a bunch of executives trying to figure out how to capitalize on Lee ’s similitude and bequest would think of as a good idea . The grown obstruction facing the would - be Stan Lee Universe , obviously , is that most of Lee ’s non - Marvel work lacks the form of brand - realization that would make multiple live - action mechanism film , streaming serial publication , and comics immediate success ( to say nothing of the fact that it ’s ill-defined whether the public is especially interested in yet another interconnected universe of subject ) .

It ’s not that Pow ! ’s catalog of Lee macrocosm is miss , as there are more than a few characters likeLightspeed , the Condor , andLucky Manwho , on newspaper , could all easily become fixtures within the would - be Stan Lee Universe . But simply slap Lee ’s name and face onto a motion picture and show is n’t aguaranteed path to success , especially once citizenry come to the obvious conclusion that these characters did n’t grow from the House of Ideas . The planned Stan Lee Universe might actually bend out to be something more than an cash grab powered by Lee ’s renown , but until something actually comes out of this partnership , it ’s hard to see it as anything else .
