It’s a known fact that Stan Lee has bestowed Marvel with some of the most popular superheroes in its history. Be it the X-Men, Spider-Man or even the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist Iron Man, Stan Lee has made them all which led to the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
Due to his immense contribution at Marvel, Stan Lee is often seen doing cameo appearances in many of the Marvel film and television projects. A few of these appearances are self-aware and sometimes refer Lee’s involvement in the creation of certain characters. While going for a Marvel movie, fans eagerly wait to witness Stan Lee on the big screen even if he appears for a few seconds.
However, while most of his credits include fictional characters for the Marvel Comics, little is talked about his contribution to Marvel’s rival DC Comics. His work first work for DC Comics was witnessed in the 2001 in the Just Imagine… series wherein Lee re-imagined the DC superheroes like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Flash.
So why don’t we see Stan Lee in other comic based movies apart from those of Marvel? At Stan Lee’s question and answer panel this past weekend at Fan Expo 2016 a fan in the crowd asked if Lee would ever consider doing cameos in other projects. Lee responded with: “I can’t make out what he said, but it sounded like it came from the heart. I want to do more cameos also, I’ve even let people know it doesn’t have to be a Marvel movie, I don’t know why DC hasn’t called me. They could use me!”

Maybe this was an indication for DC Movies to start cashing in on Lee’s popularity and star him too in their movies. Apart from this, Lee stopped by the morning television program Breakfast Television wherein he revealed about his future cameos in MCU. He mentioned that he has already filmed his roles for three upcoming Marvel movies: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Doctor Strange (or, as the host mistakenly and delightfully calls it, Doctor Strangelove).
Lee was also asked if he got any say in the size and scope of his cameos, to which a playful Lee replies: “Oh no no, they decide. If I was deciding it would be a half hour role. They only give me a few seconds, and they’re afraid I’ll overshadow the star. You know how that is.”
Well, that’s a lot of good news for the comic book fans from the demi-god of comic industry himself. All we got to do now is wait for Doctor Strange release to witness Lee’s magic on the big screen once again.
