On Monday, Stan Lee passed away at age 95, and the news quickly spread around the world, but apparently, his name got confused with another celebrity. As you can see below, a New Zealand newspaper made a mistake when it actually announced the death of Spike Lee, instead of Stan Lee.
The image above shows why a good publication needs skilled copyeditors. At least they got the picture, the age, and the last name right.
Spike Lee is an American filmmaker, actor, and director who totally looks different from Stan Lee.
RIP Stan Lee. The world will miss you.
Captain Marvel is set to release in theaters on March 8, 2019; the still-untitled Avengers 4 will be out on May 3.
