Artificial Intelligence (better known as AI) is making headlines every day.

From Disney lawsuits to its use in the theme parks, AI is a constant conversation. Now, AI is being used as a way to talk to familiar faces who have passed, specifically with a real-life Marvel legend.
If you ever wanted to meet famed creator Stan Lee, now is your chance (kinda). According to the Hollywood Reporter, an AI Stan Lee will speak with fans at the L.A. Comic Con.

An artificial intelligence version of the late Marvel creator will pose for photos and engage in short conversations with fans at the convention for a fee. Fans will be able to speak with the hologram at the Stan Lee Experience section of the con. It will be a 1,500-foot enclosed booth and will cost between $15 and $20 to enter. (This will depend on if you buy your tickets ahead of time.)

There will be “paid opportunities to take photos with the hologram or have a three-minute, one-on-one conversation with it.” Lee passed away at the age of 95 in 2018. During his life, he co-created characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Daredevil, and made several cameo appearances throughout the Marvel film franchise.

For those who might find this choice worrisome, Bob Sabouni, Head of Stan Lee Legacy Programs for Kartoon Studios and a former Marvel executive, has shared that the hologram will not misrepresent who Lee was. “We’ll never put words in his mouth that aren’t in line with things he spoke about in his lifetime,” said Sabouni. He continued to say, “Fortunately, with decades of footage capturing his thoughts on so many subjects, we can build a voice that stays true, not always word for word, but always faithful in spirit, context, and intent.”

According to organizers, the hologram may also show up in different parts of the con “as a surprise.” They even teased that it might introduce a panel or two. The convention takes place from September 26th until September 28th, 2025. As always, be sure to keep following DFB for more news and updates.
