As soon as news of Stan Lee's passing began to surface, social media was taken over by fans, actors, and creators alike. One of Hollywood A-listers paying tribute to the Marvel icon was none other than director Joss Whedon, the man behind Marvel's The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron.
"Stan Lee created a universe where, if a character was beloved enough, they could never really die," Whedon remembered. "Now THAT'S thinking ahead."
"Thanks for so much of my life. You'll never not be in it."
