Marvel moviegoers have gotten accustomed to seeing Stan Lee's various cameos over the years. The legendary comics creator has appeared in more than two dozen films starring Marvel characters, oftentimes appearing only for a few seconds or a one-off gag.
One might think Lee would be slowing down at age 93, but a recent comment from Marvel producer Kevin Feige (via Cinema Blend) seems to indicate that this is far from the case.
According to Feige, who recently spoke at a fan Q&A following a special screening of Captain America: Civil War in Los Angeles, Lee filmed not one, but four Marvel movie cameos in a single day a few months ago in Atlanta, Georgia. A fan asked if Lee's cameos were more random in nature or specifically thought up, to which Feige responded by saying the cameos are far from random and always very specific.
"... A couple of months ago in Atlanta, he flew down and we shot four in one day - for four various projects," Feige says. "They're all awesome! They're all totally different. And he was unbelievable. He was on fire. He came in, he sat here, he stood there, he stood in this window, and then he went home."
What four projects might Lee's cameos be for? That's still a little unclear, but November's upcoming Doctor Strange is surely one of them. As for the other three, Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, which releases next year, is also another solid bet, as are both Thor: Ragnarok and Spider-Man: Homecoming, two Marvel films that are currently filming. It's possible Lee could have even filmed a cameo for Avengers: Infinity War, as the film is currently in preproduction in Atlanta.
Lee has already appeared in three films this year. First, fans could see the comic creator as a strip club DJ in Fox's wildly successful Deadpool. Then came Lee's cameo as a FedEx delivery guy in Captain America: Civil War, which was then followed by a cameo in X-Men: Apocalypse as a man fearing nuclear annihilation.
Fans will next see Lee in Doctor Strange, though the exact nature of his cameo in the upcoming film, as usual, remains a mystery. Doctor Strange is in theaters Nov. 4 and will bring Lee's yearly cameo total to four. Which Stan Lee cameo is your favorite? Let us know in the comments below.
