Joe Russo has confirmed that this month’s “Avengers : Endgame” features the final cameo for the late Stan Lee.
Lee, who sadly passed away in November, had appeared in the majority of Marvel comic movies from the past decade or so. It was expected that Lee might appear in the forthcoming “Spider-Man : Far From Home” but the “Avengers” co-director say the final bow happens much sooner.
“This was his final cameo that was committed to film,” Russo, who helmed the pic with brother Anthony, tells ComicBook.com. “It was always… Again, I grew up as a Marvel fanatic, and watching Spider-Man cartoon show as a kid with his voice in it. I think anything that affects you as a child, really affects you as an adult, sticks with you. So when he would come on set, and we’d hear his voice, it’s sort of Pavlovian in a way, where you just become a child again. The whole crew would be like that. People were always… All these movie stars on set every day, and then Stan would show up, and it was just like people were kids all over again.”
“X-Men : Dark Phoenix” director Simon Kinberg has confirmed that while Lee didn’t shoot a cameo for that film, the movie will feature a tribute to the beloved artist and writer.
