Stan Lee, Marvel and Avi Arad are being sued buy the shareholders of Stan Lee media (a company set up by Lee some years ago that went bankrupt in 2006).
The company shareholders say that they deserve their share of the takings from films such as Spiderman, Iron Man and the Xmen series as they hold copyright interests in those properties.
They are suing for $750 million. Marvel have issued a statement saying that the claim is ridiculous.
