Stan Lee Doc for Disney+

Genius Brands International has signed an agreement to co-executive produce a documentary on the life of Stan Lee that will debut on Disney+.

Lee was the co-creator of such successful characters as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Thor, Silver Surfer, Ant-Man, Nick Fury and The Avengers. The doc coincides with Lee’s 100th birthday.

Additionally, Genius Brands commemorates the occasion with the launch of a new online store featuring products from the Stan Lee Centennial Collection. The store exclusively features three Stan Lee collections: Stan Lee Comic, Stan Lee Retro and Stan Lee Centennial, with additional product categories to debut in 2023.

Additional Stan Lee-branded products to come to market include apparel from Hot Topic; bags and backpacks from Sprayground; collectible figures from Good Smile; and fine art from Moor Art, as well as Funko, which will be releasing  an exclusive Stan Lee collectible figure and boxed T-shirt this month.

“We are thrilled to celebrate Stan Lee’s 100th birthday today with multiple initiatives that pay tribute to this true cultural icon, starting with creating a marketplace for his fans and with telling his fascinating story in the upcoming film premiering on Disney+,” said Andy Heyward, chairman and CEO of Genius Brands.
