Depositions have already begun in this titanic battle. It is a $5 billion lawsuit and will likely be in a New York courtroom next year.
There are real issues to the ownership rights of Stan Lee's characters, including Spider Man, Ironman, X-Men, Incredible Hulk, etc.
HERE IS THE YOUTUBE TO EXPLAIN THOSE ISSUES
Jack Kirby’s estate stands to make a bundle.
Hope Steve Ditko does too.
How? The lawsuit is to recover rights for Stan Lee Media pursuant to Lee’s contract.
Whomever ends up with the money, I think it’s a great thing that the Stan Lee/Marvel movies are being made. First class entertainment.
