Stan Lee's cameos: Kevin Feige talks about their last meeting

More than a week after the death of Stan Lee, Marvel's cartoon icon, producer Kevin Feige wrote a moving tribute to the late writer of Entertainment Weekly. Feige has become one of Hollywood's most powerful producers at the helm of the Marvel Film Universe. Each entry in the MCU featured a memorable Stan Lee cameo, which was exactly what Lee thought when he first met Feige.

"I went to his house to see him and he reminded me of his cameos," Feige wrote about his last meeting with Lee. We were talking about what would happen, always looking to the future. Did he know his time was running out? I do not know. Looking back, he was slightly more nostalgic than I had seen before. He spoke of the past more than I had ever heard of the past. So maybe at a certain level, he knew it.

Feige remembered that Lee was up for an appearance that the writers of each MCU title were willing to give him. The producer said his last meeting with Lee started with a humorous joke. Feige wrote, "When I sat at his seat at our last meeting, his first sentence was:" I know you want me to play in the next movie, but I have to stick with it. cameos. You will have to leave the main roles to the other actors. I am sorry."

"He would show up at the movie board game for anything," Feige continued. "But one thing he would always do is try to add more lines. He was still joking – but not really joke – to want more lines, although he understands why we could not. God presumes, he would start eclipsing the hero. It was something that a character like Stan Lee could easily do. "

Lee is expected to appear in several upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe films, having already made his appearances. The films include "Captain Marvel" next year and the untitled sequel "Avengers".
