STAN LEE’S DAUGHTER SIDES WITH SONY: The daughter of the late Marvel icon Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, is siding with Sony as it moves to potentially remove the superhero from Disney‘s Marvel Comic Universe. Joan Celia (JC) Lee tells TMZ: “Marvel and Disney seeking total control of my father’s creations must be checked and balanced by others who, while still seeking to profit, have genuine respect for Stan Lee and his legacy.” She continued: “Whether it’s Sony or someone else’s, the continued evolution of Stan’s characters and his legacy deserves multiple points of view. When my father died, no one from Marvel or Disney reached out to me. From day one, they have commoditized my father’s work and never shown him or his legacy any respect or decency.” Lee also said: “In the end, no one could have treated my father worse than Marvel and Disney’s executives.” (TMZ)
