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.
