The rock
We lost a good one.
What a man and what a life.
Marvel’s original superhero and co-creator of IRON MAN, SPIDER-MAN, THE HULK, X-MEN etc.
When I first broke into Hollywood, years ago he was so warm and welcoming to me – I’ll never forget it.
He gave me very sage advice on navigating a career, that I’ll always carry.
What a life he’s lived and how awesome that his imagination and universe creation impacted generations around the world.
And for generations to come.
Rest in love, my friend.

I am saddened to learn about the passing of Stan Lee. From watching Marvel films with my friends in college to having the privilege to take on one of his characters in @BlackPanther, Stan’s creative genius sparked my imagination and left me in awe. His legacy will carry on in all of us who relish in the worlds he created. Worlds that renew our spirits and help us cope with our own. #StanLeeForever #ThankYouStan
