The very opening scene of Captain Marvel begins with a heartfelt tribute to Stan Lee. Anna Boden, Director of Captain Marvel is the one to be credited for giving us this news. The sight of Stan Lee for the last time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be quite nostalgic and heart-wrenching so to speak. But it will not be the only time Stan Lee makes an appearance in Captain Marvel. There is another appearance within the movie itself that Stan Lee makes. And this is the one we are talking about.

But the appearance of Stan Lee midway through the film has an element of the bizarre and strange in it! What we mean to say is that it is not an ordinary cameo appearance we have seen and grown accustomed to in the Marvel movies when it comes to Stan ‘The Man’ Lee. This is actually way different. To put matters into perspective, we have to take you guys back to 1995 where a movie called Mallrats first came to the big screens.

It was only way later that Stan Lee made cameo appearances in movies the norm. Before that, he had already appeared in Mallrats, directed by the legendary cult comedy king Kevin Smith. In Mallrats, Stan Lee makes quite a short appearance. This tradition will be carried on to Captain Marvel if rumors are to be trusted.

This is literally how the scene goes. Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck lay out all their cards on the table. The Captain Marvel movie is set in the ’90s as well, when Mallrats was about to be released. In the movie, Brie Larson’s character aka Captain Marvel is searching for Skrull impostors in a train when she sees a timid old man practicing his lines out of a movie script.

When Carol pulls away the paper from him, she sees Stan Lee there, who was actually practicing his lines for the still unreleased Mallrats movie, which would be shot at a later date within the same continuity. The appearance will be short but memorable.

Stan Lee, you will forever be missed. Excelsior!!!!
