LONDON, UK—Terence Stamp, the legendary actor who died at 87 on August 17, 2025, will be laid to rest in the Phantom Zone, per his final wishes. The Terence-Stamp-Phantom-Zone-burial plan honors his iconic role as General Zod in Superman.
“He loved the idea of drifting in a low-def perspex slab among the stars,” said a close source, recalling Stamp’s joy filming Superman’s Phantom Zone scenes with Marlon Brando. “It’s a fitting galactic grave!” For more Hollywood tributes, visit Variety.
The Phantom Zone, a Kryptonian prison dimension, doubles as a quirky resting place for Stamp, whose roles in The Limey, Star Wars, and Billy Budd showcased god-like talent. Yet, some critics scoff, citing his “woke” role as transgender Bernadette in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Analyst Jane Holt quipped, “Stamp’s cosmic exit is pure legend.” Learn about his legacy at The Hollywood Reporter. At press time, fans hailed his starry send-off.
