New Documentary Reveals Exploitation of Stan Lee in His Final Years

Filmmaker Jon Bolerjack uncovers allegations of elder abuse and financial manipulation surrounding the Marvel Comics legend's last years.

The documentary 'Stan Lee: The Final Chapter,' directed by Jon Bolerjack, explores claims of mistreatment, manipulation, and betrayal during Stan Lee's final years.
Bolerjack, a former assistant to Lee, filmed hundreds of hours of footage showing the toll of Lee’s demanding schedule and the exploitation by those in his inner circle.
The film alleges that Lee was forced to attend conventions and sign memorabilia despite his deteriorating health, with much of the revenue never reaching him or his family.
Key figures in Lee's entourage, including former road manager Max Anderson, are implicated in the documentary, though Anderson has denied any wrongdoing.
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to complete the documentary, which aims to serve as both a tribute to Lee’s legacy and a cautionary tale about the abuse of vulnerable individuals.
