Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed Stan Lee’s Avengers: Endgame cameo on the red carpet of Captain Marvel Monday night.
Stan Lee tragically passed away back in November and Captain Marvel will be the first Marvel Studios film since his death. However, Stan Lee had an animated cameo in Ralph Breaks the Internet and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which both came out after his death. Captain Marvel will begin with a touching tribue to Stan Lee before the Marvel Studios credits.
On the red carpet of the Captain Marvel world premiere Monday night, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed an Avengers: Endgame cameo for Stan Lee. Kevin Feige said, “an upcoming one as well” which could point to Avengers: Endgame being the last film Stan Lee ever appears in. Stan Lee’s cameos were grouped ahead of time as he got older to film, but according to Kevin Feige, the Marvel legend might not have made it to Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Mississipi Grind helmers Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have directed from a script written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet, Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve. Here’s the official synopsis for Captain Marvel:
Set in the 1990s, Marvel Studios’ “Captain Marvel” is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that follows the journey of Carol Danvers as she becomes one of the universe’s most powerful heroes. While a galactic war between two alien races reaches Earth, Danvers finds herself and a small cadre of allies at the center of the maelstrom.
Captain Marvel stars Brie Larson, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Lashana Lynch, Gemma Chan, Algenis Perez Soto, Rune Temte, McKenna Grace, Clark Gregg and Jude Law. The film is slated to hit theaters on March 8, 2019.
Following her debut in her titular standalone film, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel will return to face Thanos in April when Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26, 2019, however, it remains unclear as to whether or not Samuel L Jackson will appear.
Plot details are still under wraps but the Avengers are expected to attempt to undo Thanos’ snap which gave way to the decimation of half of the Universe after the heroes failed to stop the Mad Titan from collecting all six Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War. The highly-anticipated Avengers: Infinity War follow-up will conclude the previous 22 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before Marvel kicks off Phase 4 with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July.
