Marvel Releases Announcement Video For STAN LEE Documentary Coming to Disney+ in 2023 in Celebration of His 100th Birthday
Marvel has announced that a documentary titled Stan Lee will be released next year in celebration of the late comic legend’s 100th birthday. A cool little 25-second video was Tweeted out to gear fans up for what will be a pretty cool doc about Lee and his life and impact on the comic world.
Marvel captioned the video “100 years of dreaming. 100 years of creating. 100 years of Stan Lee,” and added, “Stan Lee, an Original documentary, is streaming 2023 on @DisneyPlus.”
It shows glimpses of some of Stan Lee’s minor roles and guest appearances in cinema. The celebratory montage concludes with a gradual zoom-out that reveals an illustration of the multi-talented creator.
Working alongside fellow writer-artists like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, Lee is best known for creating beloved characters like Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, the Avengers and more. Even after retiring from Marvel in the 1990s, Lee continued to stay involved with the company through cameo appearances and executive producer titles on Marvel productions.
Celebration of Lee’s centennial launched earlier this month through Genius Brands International, which released a new online store with three exclusive Lee-branded collections. The entertainment company owns the rights to the name, voice, likeness, signature and licensing of intellectual property relating to Lee and is signed on to co-executive produce the Stan Lee documentary.
Lee’s official Twitter account, which is kept in use by POW! Entertainment, posted:
“100 years ago, Stan was born in NYC. Over the last century, his work changed the pop culture landscape & influenced millions. At LA Comic Con, fans left messages for Stan’s centennial. Inspiration. Legend. Hero. These are some of the words that came up again & again. #StanLee100.”
