Until his death, he also made a number of fun cameos in Marvel Studios films about his comic book characters. Fans unfamiliar with the origin of their favorite superheroes soon looked forward to seeing their creator pop into the cinematic world.
His last cameo was in Avengers: End Game (2019), but now, Stan Lee will grace our screens once again in a documentary about his life! Check out a compilation of his cameos in the official announcement video Marvel posted for the documentary:
In the announcement, Marvel wrote, “100 years of dreaming. 100 years of creating. 100 years of Stan Lee.”
