Marvel creator, the great Stan Lee, passed away a few months, leaving Marvel fans in shock. The famous comics artist was known for giving us superheroes like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Thor, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Ant-Man etc. Stan Lee was also popular for having cameos in Marvel movies, be it in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or a non-MCU movie. After his demise in November 2018, Stan Lee had two post-humous cameos in Spider-Man: Intro the Spider-Verse (voice cameo) and Captain Marvel (where it is hinted that he plays himself).

Stan Lee is also expected to make a cameo in the Avengers: EndGame, But will he be making an appearance in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the shoot of which was done last year before Lee's death?
Joe Russo, who is in India to kickstart the promotional world promotional campaign for Avengers EndGame, was asked this question during a media interaction. He replied, "I believe that his final cameo is in Endgame. I don't remember if he was well enough to do the (Spider-Man: Far From Home) cameo or not."

Speaking more about his admiration for Stan Lee, Russo added, "I grew up on these (Marvel) comic books, Stan Lee was an idol of mine when I was a kid. To be able to have the opportunity to not only work on the material that he created, but to work with him, is a childhood dream come true."
Recently, in Captain Marvel, Stan Lee was paid a beautiful tribute when all the superheroes in the Marvel logo were replaced with the legend, ending with a caption, 'Thank You, Stan'. We are curious to know how Avengers: Endgame would up the ante in comparison to this excellent tribute. Avengers: EndGame is scheduled to release on April 26.
