This year has been a tough one for Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, the X-Men (to name a few) creator Stan Lee. But even with health scares that caused him to make comic-con cancellations and the passing of his wife of 69 years, Joan it doesn't seem that he's ready to quit.
Honored with a handprint ceremony at Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theater this week Stan the Man chatted with Variety about still keeping busy:
"I have about 50 [characters] that I've already developed that I haven't shown to anybody," he said. "And someday I will. But, there's no need for me, really, to do anymore now... One of them [the characters] has a superpower that you've never seen before. They all have new superpowers, but I can't tell you. I'm sorry!"
No word if we'll be seeing any of the characters in comics, or on screen in the coming years, but it's good to see even at 94 Lee has no signs of quitting. We've already seen him cameo-ing in two films this year. In Guardians of the Galaxy 2 saw him in a space suit on a small planet and in Spider-Man: Homecoming he was a guy named Gary who 'threatened' the web slinger "Don't make me come down there."
Lee has already filmed several of his future cameo's, Kevin Feige confirmed on Leonard Maltin's podcast "Maltin on Movies" back in March. "Most recently he flew to Atlanta and shot four cameos in one day for upcoming projects, one of which I think is maybe the best one we've ever done. It's a high bar for Stan."
He's been seen on the Avengers: Infinity War set in several of the stars instagram accounts - like this one with Karen Gillan.
Avengers: Infinity War is currently in post-production and is rated on comicbook.com as the number one "Best-Rated Before Release" movie.
The expansive confirmed cast includes Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans,ChrisHemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bethany, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Benedict Wong, Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Pom Klementieff, and Josh Brolin as the villain Thanos.Avengers: Infinity War and its as-yet-untitled sequel are filming back-to-back for a May 4, 2018 and May 3, 2019 release, respectively.
