News about Stan Lee

Romita died "completely in his sleep," his son said in a Twitter post on Wednesday, referring to his father as "the best man I've ever met." Romita Jr., a graphic novelist, wrote: "I say this with a heavy heart. "My father John Romita died peacefully in his sleep this Monday morning." He is a legend in the art world, and following in his footsteps would be a privilege.' Romita, a 1930 native of Brooklyn, New York, graduated from Manhattan's School of Industrial Art before he ventured into the comic book business. Stan Lee, the executive vice president and publisher of Marvel Comics before his death in 2018, was instrumental in the creation of Marvel characters, including Spiderman's girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, and also launched the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip in 1977.

Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell talked about giving children pain in chilling texts in court on Monday in Boise, with one of them announcing that if they act up, they would 'give them a reason to scream.' Ex FBI Agent Doug Hart returned to court this week to tell the court what he discovered in Vallow's iCloud account in the weeks leading up to her children's deaths. Vallow and her two children spent the summer of 2019 in a trip that Daybell referred to as '3s' in the texts. JJ's son was also on the trip, but it is not clear if Tylee was present. Daybell had sent Vallow a text requesting if she wanted him to 'cause pain' to the two three girls she was riding with. Vallow told him to relax, but if they started behaving again, we could zap them.' In September, 2019, the couple was charged with murdering JJ and Tylee and burying their bodies in Daybell's backyard in Rexburg, Idaho. Tammy Barnes, Daybell's wife, was suffocated in bed a month later. They married in Hawaii two weeks later.

Gareth Peter Pahliney (pictured), 41, of Cloghan, Ireland, started collecting the memorabilia in 2006 and now buys between 20 to 40 new items per month. The father-of-two's collection has now grown so large that he has an entire room in his house dedicated to his comic books, collector's dolls, and a life-size statue of the Marvel superhero (inset). 'I think it's my favorite place', the stay-at-home dad, who has over 2,250 collectors' items, said. I get a sense of achievement when I enter the comic cave.' Gareth has been a Deadpool fan since reading his first comic book at the age of five and was 'fully hooked' by the tales.

On Tuesday, a well-known Shakespearian actor appeared unrecognizable as he shot a new TV series with a long wig. The 79-year-old was on the Disneyland set of Disney+'s Wonder Man, based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name. In the scene, the legendary actor in question was wearing a brown jacket over green shirt, khaki trousers, and leather shoes.

Robert Downey, Jr., has left his mark on Hollywood in a variety of ways, one of which is up for auction. On eBay, a piece of the Iron Man actor's chewing gum has gone up for auction, fetching $55,000. When photographing his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on February 13, the Oscar winner, who is now in contention for a Vertigo remake, stuck a piece of ABC gum on pal Jon Favreau's head.

The final words of well-known people are a point of fascination to fans of their respective lives in the hopes of receiving a last burst of wisdom from those who have lived a life less privileged. The words used in those days often reveal the individual's state of deterioration. However, there have been some notable examples of well-known celebrities' parting shots around the globe over the years. Here are a few of the best of the bunch.

Stan Lee would have turned 100 years old today. Stanley Martin Lieber, the Marvel Comics visionary who was born Stanley Martin Lieber and was behind many famous superheroes, died in Los Angeles at the age of 95. Disney+ has released a new film to commemorate his life and legacy in honor of his 100th birthday.

A Los Angeles judge ruled there was a mistrial and dismissed charges of grand theft against Marvel Comics' former businessman Stan Lee on Tuesday. Keya Morgan, 41, was accused of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from Lee during the last months of his life, but Superior Court Judge George Lomeli dismissed charges against him. Lee was best known for co-creating Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Hulk, as well as scores of others.

In Marvel and Disney+'s forthcoming series "Wonder Man," Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is keeping his supervillain streak alive. According to Deadline, Abdul-Mateen, who is best known for his role as Cal Abar in "Watchmen" and "Aquaman," as the villain David Kane, aka Manta," will appear as Wonder Man in Disney+ and Marvel's eponymous film Wonder Man. In his transformation from DC villain to Marvel villain, the actor will play Simon Williams, a supervillain who works with Baron Heinrich Zemo and the Enchantress, before being reborn as a hero and switch sides. Abdul-Mateen and Disney+'s spokespersons did not respond to POPSUGAR's request for more information right away.

Chadwick Boseman appeared in "Captain America: Civil War" in 2016 before going on to star in his own stand-alone film in 2018 and a few Avengers sequels after that. His time as the fan-favourite Marvel superhero came to an end in 2020 when he died of colon cancer. So, when the "Black Panther" sequel "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" premieres later this year, the absence of its original star will no doubt be felt by fans around the world. Kevin Feige, the current Marvel Studios president, is speaking out about why the creators of the "Back Panther" franchise decided against recasting Boseman's role. Although several movies have recast major characters and gone on to have lucrative runs (such as when Ed Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo in the role of the Hulk), replacing Boseman was never on the agenda when it came to making "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever."

"Thor: Love and Thunder"'s end-credits scene introduced a brand-new character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Hercules, starring Brett Goldstein of "Ted Lasso." Since Hercules is one of the most well-known Greek gods (and yes, we are eagerly waiting for the live-action Disney "Hercules"), it seems a little strange to call him "new." However, he has his own unique connection to the superheroes fans know and love, and it could have swaying results in what role Hercules will play in the MCU going forward. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced Hercules as a rival to Thor in 1965. He became a regular guest star in Thor stories from then on. Nonetheless, one of his oldest and best known Marvel battles was with the Hulk, and Hercules' own strength, skills, and hotheadedness is often compared to the big green guy's. Hercules has made regular appearances in Thor and Avengers comics, as well as designing his own comics books. He's the son of Zeus and Alcmena in the comics, as in mythology. Hercules, like the Olympian gods, can't be killed in any normal way and can heal his own wounds.
