A modern Marvel titan shared a farewell to Marvel Comics legend
Stan Lee this week.
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, who oversees the Marvel
Cinematic Universe (MCU), wrote a tribute to Lee for
Entertainment Weekly, which can be found in the latest issue or
online now. Lee, the former
president of Marvel Comics who co-created Spider-Man, Black
Panther, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and
dozens of more characters, died earlier this month at 95.
Feige described his final meeting with Lee in his tribute, in
which the two reminisced about Lee’s cameos in Marvel films.
“Did he know that his time was running out? I don’t know,”
Feige wrote. “In hindsight, he was slightly more wistful than I’d
seen him before. He talked about the past more than I had ever
heard him talk about the past. So maybe on some level, he
knew.”
Lee has appeared in every MCU movie in a brief cameo, and nearly
all other Marvel films, as well. He’ll appear in two more films before
2018 is over: Sony’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” next
month, and Disney’s “Ralph Breaks the Internet,” which is in
theaters now. He had also already filmed his “Avengers 4” cameo
for next year.
Feige also said that Lee would always joke that he needed
more lines for a cameo whenever he was on the set of a
movie.
“He always would joke — but
not really joke — about wanting more lines,
although he understood why we couldn’t,” Feige wrote.
He concluded, “God forbid he would start to
overshadow the hero. That was something a character like Stan Lee
could easily do.”
