BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

Lee Baker and Marco Derhy have been united in partnership in the development and advancement of Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5, working together over time to strengthen the franchise creatively, strategically, technologically and commercially and bring it to the stage of development it has reached today. Their partnership spans feature film, video games, interactive entertainment and AI assisted filmmaking through Advent Entertainment, Paralight Studios and Legion Digital Studios.

Baker and Derhy serve together as the main producers of Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5, operating as partners across the broader development of the franchise while bringing distinct and complementary strengths to the effort. Baker also serves as screenwriter and director of the film, Founder and CEO of Advent Entertainment and PARALIGHT, and Co-Founder of Legion Digital Studios. Derhy also serves as Producer and Partner with Advent Entertainment and Paralight Studios and Co-Founder of Legion Digital Studios alongside Baker.

Over the course of their partnership, Baker and Derhy have worked together across the creative, production, business, financing, technology, marketing and strategic development of the property. Baker brings leadership in screenwriting, direction, visual development and filmmaking technology, while Derhy brings hands on production, production packaging, financing relationships, distribution strategy, strategic partnerships, casting relationships, business development, global marketing and international outreach. Their combined efforts have helped move the franchise forward and establish the foundation for the next phase of the LEGION OF 5 universe.

“This announcement reflects what Lee and Marco have built together as partners over time, combining their strengths across the board with one shared objective: to strengthen Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5, preserve the creative foundation Stan established, and build the production, technology, business and global platform needed to take this universe into its next chapter. LEGION OF 5 has always had tremendous creative potential, and this partnership has allowed us to approach that potential from every side. What we have achieved together gives us a stronger foundation for where we intend to take the franchise next.”

Preserving Stan Lee’s Creative Legacy

LEGION OF 5 originated with Stan Lee, who created the intellectual property and characters through the property’s early development with POW! Entertainment. Stan Lee’s original creative attribution remains central to the identity and continuing development of the project.

The property was publicly announced in 2008, when Stan Lee and POW! Entertainment, together with Brighton Partners, joined with Rainmaker Entertainment to develop LEGION OF 5 as a CG animated superhero property envisioned as a cross platform franchise extending into film, comics, games, merchandising and digital releases.

Baker became involved after Brighton Partners approached his former company, Sandman Studios Entertainment, to contribute artwork and visual effects to the property. Baker and his team continued working on LEGION OF 5 as the project evolved, and he later wrote the screenplay and became attached as director.

According to the franchise history and legal disclosure published by Advent Entertainment, Baker’s Stormlight Entertainment, LLC assumed Brighton Partners’ contractual position in 2015. Advent’s published disclosure states that the property is currently owned 50% by Stormlight Entertainment, LLC and 50% by Stan Lee’s POW! Entertainment, Inc., with POW! Entertainment and Stormlight Entertainment jointly determining the timing for moving the project forward.

Lee Baker’s entertainment journey includes work associated with major Hollywood productions, reflecting the experience that helped shape his approach to filmmaking and visual storytelling.

That rights history is distinct from the current production and company roles held by Baker and Derhy as they continue advancing the project together.

Building the LEGION Universe

Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 follows five young heroes who unexpectedly receive extraordinary abilities and must learn to work together against a super powered threat while confronting personal challenges of their own.

The broader strategy envisions a connected entertainment universe spanning feature films, potential sequels and episodic content, animation, video games, licensing, merchandising, digital storytelling and immersive entertainment experiences.

Among those initiatives is LEGION CHAMPIONS, a video game concept set within the same universe and designed to expand the property beyond the feature film experience.

Legion Digital Studios, LLC, co-founded by Lee Baker and Marco Derhy, provides a dedicated production and business structure for developing film and television projects while exploring opportunities across gaming and other areas of entertainment, supported by PARALIGHT AI technology and other emerging technologies shaping the entertainment industry.

PARALIGHT and Human Centered AI Assisted Filmmaking

Baker is the Founder and CEO of PARALIGHT, a patent pending, AI powered filmmaking platform designed to help creators move from written concepts toward visual production within a connected creative environment.

The platform supports multiple stages of the filmmaking process, including screenwriting, character development, scene development, shot planning, storyboarding, visual generation, dialogue and other production functions.

At the center of PARALIGHT’s philosophy is a human centered approach to AI assisted filmmaking. The platform is intended to empower actors, writers, directors, producers, visual effects professionals and other creators rather than replace human creativity, artistic judgment or performance.

A concept trailer for Stan Lee’s LEGION OF 5 was produced using PARALIGHT, demonstrating how AI assisted tools can support the visualization and development of an entertainment property while human creators retain responsibility for story, performance, direction, tone and meaning.

The integration of PARALIGHT into the development process positions LEGION OF 5 at the intersection of traditional filmmaking expertise and emerging production technology.

Founder & CEO Aishwarya Shares Company Milestones, Vision for the Future and Plans to Establish Offices Across Canada, Dubai and Europe

Houston,TX

Negative Link, a global online reputation management and ORM company, today announced the next phase of its growth strategy, including plans to expand its international presence with new offices across Canada, Dubai and key European markets. Founded by Aishwarya, Negative Link has spent the past decade helping individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs and organizations address damaging, misleading and unwanted online content while building stronger and more credible digital reputations.

Building a Reputation Management Company for a Changing Digital World

Now an AI-generated article or a manipulated video can reach page one of a search engine in hour’s founder said. “We do not just clean up damage after it happens. We monitor it thoroughly and we make sure the true story is what shows up when someone searches a name. Negative Link’s approach treats Reputation Management as an ongoing process rather than a response to a single negative result”

According to Aishwarya, the biggest transformation in the industry has been the speed at which information can now spread. When asked about modern reputation threats she said.

“For more than ten years, I have watched reputation threats evolve from a handful of bad reviews to coordinated, AI-accelerated campaigns that can spread across search engines and social platforms within hours, damaging online presence faster than one can think. Our goal is not simply to react when something goes wrong. We want to help our clients understand their digital reputation, identify risks early and build a stronger online presence that represents who they really are.”

From Reputation Management to Reputation Protection

Negative Link believes reputation management is moving from a reactive service to an ongoing form of digital protection. The company continues to develop solutions around reputation monitoring, online content challenges, search visibility and long-term reputation-building strategies.

“A reputation is not something you fix once and forget about,” Aishwarya said. “It is something you build, monitor and protect. Our responsibility is to make sure that when someone searches for a person or a business, they have access to information that is accurate, credible and representative of that individual or organization.”

Negative Link Announces International Expansion

As part of its next stage of growth, Negative Link plans to establish offices in Canada, Dubai and key European markets. The expansion is designed to bring the company closer to international clients while creating regional capabilities for client support, reputation management and digital risk management.

The new offices will form part of Negative Link’s broader strategy to build an international organization capable of serving clients across multiple markets.

“Our ambition has always been global,” said Aishwarya. “We have built a strong foundation over the last decade, and now we are ready to take Negative Link into its next chapter. Canada, Dubai and Europe are important markets for us, and establishing a local presence will allow us to understand our clients better and serve them more effectively.”

Negative Link is an online reputation management and digital reputation protection company founded by Aishwarya. The company works with individuals, professionals, entrepreneurs and organizations to address harmful, misleading and damaging online content while helping build stronger long-term digital reputations.
