Comic Con"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tFor decades, Stan Lee<\/a> was the king of comic conventions. Now, nearly seven years after his death at the age of 95<\/a>, he will once again be a presence at L.A. Comic Con<\/a>, this time as a hologram that will use AI to have conversations with fans.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans will be able to speak with the hologram at the Stan Lee Experience section of the con, a 1,500 ft. enclosed booth which costs between $15-$20 to enter, depending on whether you buy tickets ahead of time. And like meeting a celebrity or getting autographs, there will be paid opportunities to take photos with the hologram or have a three-minute, one-on-one conversation with it.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ll never put words in his mouth that aren\u2019t in line with things he spoke about in his lifetime,\u201d said Bob Sabouni, Head of Stan\u00a0Lee\u00a0Legacy Programs for Kartoon Studios and a former Marvel executive. \u201cFortunately, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe hologram hails from Proto Hologram, the company that recently helped launch an interactive mirror from The Conjuring in 47 malls, as well as Hyperreal, a company known for creating realistic avatars. <\/p>\n

\n\tLee, who co-created characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and Daredevil, was the most visible face for comic book culture of all time, known far beyond fan circles thanks to his cameos in Marvel movies. <\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to organizers, the Lee hologram may also pop up in different parts of the convention as a surprise, perhaps to introduce a top-tier panel or two.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2016, Lee spoke to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> about L.A. Comic Con, which at the time was undergoing a name change.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLos Angeles is, to me, the center of the world\u2019s entertainment. It has to have a Comic Con,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\n\tThis year\u2019s convention runs from Sept. 26-28. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For decades, Stan Lee was the king of comic conventions.
