Joan Lee, the daughter of the late comics mogul Stan Lee, who died on November 2018 at his age of 95. She has spoken out with a blast of this week’s shocking split between studios Sony and Disney over the rights to Lee’s creation, Spider-Man.
“When my father died, no one from Marvel or Disney reached out to me,” she said. “From day one, they have commoditised my father’s work and never shown him or his legacy any respect or decency. In the end, no one could have treated my father worse than Marvel and Disney executives.”
Whether it’s sony or someone else’s, the continued evolution of Stan’s characters and his legacy deserves multiple points of view, she said.
It is known that, Lee created the webslinger for Marvel in late 60’s, whereas it was purchased the film rights by Sony for a period of two decades. In 2015, they made a deal for the Spiderman to appear in MCU films and vice-versa.
Lee desires to see her father’s creations “checked and balanced” as they continue to develop further. Marvel and Disney were noticed to seek total control of my father’s creations must be completely analysed, while still they run behind profit has genuine respect for Stan Lee and his legacy.
