We can hardly introduce this indestructible figure of pop culture that is Stan Lee, co-creator of the thousands of characters that would be the foundation of the Marvel Universe. Historically and closely associated with Marvel Comics, which has grown over time from a small publishing company into a colossal multimedia industrial group.
In the 1960s, Marvel Comics writer and editor Stan Lee, along with Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, created the superheroes that form the basis of today’s Marvel blockbusters. Since 1989 and the TV movie The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, the latter has appeared in Marvel films in brief and unusual appearances.
Now the executive producer of the adaptations, Stan Lee can even be spotted in every film, where his low-key shots are always noticed by his countless fans across the planet. Since the MCU was established in 2008 with Iron Man, its appearance has become more and more intense under the leadership of producer Kevin Feige.
From Thor to The Amazing Spider-Man via Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, X-Men Apocalypse or Black Panther, Stan Lee doesn’t miss a single outing! He also participates in several episodes of series such as Chuck, Luke Cage, Agents of SHIELD or Entourage.
From there to this little quiz idea: Can you identify the works in which Stan Lee appears? Take the test!
No matter which studio adapted the Marvel universe, Lee was always there, whether it was with Fox’s X-Men or Fantastic 4, Sony’s Spider-Man universe, Universal’s Hulk’s solo adventures, or Marvel Studios along with the Avengers and company.
If the legend’s death in 2018 seemed to sound the death knell for his famous cameos, that seems no longer the case. In 2022, Marvel announced that it had signed a licensing agreement with Genius Brands and POW! Entertainment (the studio created in 2001 by Stan Lee), gives them the rights to use Stan Lee’s name, voice and physique for future films and television productions, as well as in Disney theme parks and experiences around the world. Stan “The Man” became immortal.
