He is as iconic as his fantastical Marvel creations, yet 89 year-old Stan Lee is still giddy as a school kid when talking about them. With Joss Whedon’s AVENGERS ASSEMBLE, Marc Webb’s THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN reboot as well as Shane Black taking over Jon Favreau for a thrid IRON MAN entry, Lee still finds himself as busy as ever with producing and his expected cameo duties.
While speaking to Collider regarding those said projects, Lee gave a few hints at what’s instore for fans who never tire of the comic-book creators appearances in the forthcoming blockbusters:-
The Avengers cameo that you will see, when that movie opens up, is possibly one of my best. And you know how good mine have been, but it is so funny. I can’t tell you what it is ‘cause they’d kill me, but it is funny. So is the Spider-Man one, by the way. They’re deciding to make my cameos a little funnier. They know that’s what brings the audiences in, of course, so they’ve gotta play them up.
As for the Shane Black’s soon-to-be-shooting IRON MAN 3:-
I haven’t done that cameo yet. It’s almost scary ‘cause they just give me a date. They’ll say, “Stan, come over next Thursday for your cameo,” but they don’t tell me what it is. So, I show up and they say, “Go to wardrobe.” In wardrobe, they say, “We want to get you a white shirt and a green sweater and a black zippered jacket,” and I’ll say, “Don’t bother, I’m wearing one.” And then, they say, “But, you can’t wear yours!,” and they look around and get me the exact same thing, but I’m not allowed to wear my own. And I still don’t know what my role will be. I go on the set and one minute before we’re gonna shoot, the director says, “Okay, Stan, this is what I want you to do.” So, I don’t know what is expected of me, until I get there, but of course, I do it magnificently.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE opens in cinemas 27th April followed by THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN on 4th July. IRON MAN 3 is scheduled for 3rd May 2013.
