The story was told by Al Jean, showrunner of the film The Good, The Bart and The Loki. His statement comes from an interview with Comicbook.com, during which Jean talked about the new Simpsons movie linked to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The idea was to be able to use audio that Stan Lee had previously recorded, but a negative response came from Marvel Studios.

“We said ' We have these recordings that Stan Lee made for our show, could we use them as a cameo? ' They replied that their policy did not include other appearances now that it is gone, which is absolutely understandable. It is the only thing they asked of us, and we obviously accepted. Their request for the short about Grogu also made total sense. If you let everyone do what I want with Grogu, it's over. Really, I absolutely respect that this franchise has more power than us. I respect that. ”
