Documentary Reveals Exploitation of Stan Lee's Final Years
A new film sheds light on the mistreatment and manipulation faced by the Marvel icon during his last years, while crowdfunding efforts seek to complete the project.
- The documentary, titled 'Stan Lee: The Final Chapter,' explores claims of elder abuse, financial exploitation, and betrayal during the comic book legend's final years.
- Filmmaker Jon Bolerjack, a former assistant to Lee, captured hundreds of hours of footage documenting the alleged mistreatment and has launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the film's completion.
- The trailer highlights Lee's declining health as he was reportedly forced to attend conventions and sign memorabilia, with profits often benefiting others rather than Lee or his family.
- The film includes interviews with notable comic book creators like Rob Liefeld and Roy Thomas, who provide insights into Lee's struggles and exploitation.
- Although the documentary has no confirmed release date, the crowdfunding campaign aims to raise $300,000 by April 11, 2025, to finalize production and cover legal costs.
