While Stephen King may not be a Marvel fan, he does have a bit of history with the comic book giant. In 1985, he contributed to a short charity special titled Heroes for Hope Starring the X-Men, where he introduced the villain Hungry.

Marvel later adapted some of King’s works, including comic book versions of The Dark Tower and The Stand.

Meanwhile, Stephen King has had mixed opinions about Marvel and DC movies. While he has stated that he generally does not care for the genre, he has made exceptions for specific films.

For instance, he gave a glowing review of the DC movie The Flash, describing it as special, heartfelt, funny, and eye-popping, despite not being a fan of superhero movies in general.
