Overview
- Disney revealed the plaque during D23's Imagineering: Horizons panel, with the announcement led by Imagineer Brent Strong and Marvel Experiences executive Brian Crosby and reported by Disney-focused outlets.
- The marker will be installed near the existing Stan Lee plaque at the entrance to Avengers Campus and will include a line quoted from Jack Kirby.
- Disney said the dedication is planned to happen "relatively soon," but the company has not provided a firm installation or public unveiling date.
- Jack Kirby is widely credited as co-creator of major Marvel characters such as the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Thor, the Hulk and Captain America, and the plaque recognizes that creative role.
- The addition continues Disney's use of on-site tributes to honor creative figures, a move that may increase fan interest at Avengers Campus and prompt further recognition of behind-the-scenes creators.
