Comic book fans all over the world were devastated when the legend that was Stan Lee sadly passed away last November at the age of 95.
That doesn't mean we've seen the last of him on screen though, with Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo confirming that he's got one final cameo appearance in the upcoming film.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, Joe Russo said: "This was his final cameo that was committed to film.

"I grew up as a Marvel fanatic, and watching the Spider-Man cartoon show as a kid with his voice in it. I think anything that affects you as a child really affects you as an adult, sticks with you.
"So when he would come on set, and we'd hear his voice, it's sort of Pavlovian in a way, where you just become a child again. The whole crew would be like that.

"People were always... All these movie stars on set every day, and then Stan would show up, and it was just like people were kids all over again."
It was unsure for a while if Stan Lee would also appear in Spider-Man: Far from Home, but it looks like that won't be the case now. He also did not film a cameo for the next X-Men movie, Dark Phoenix.
Avengers: Endgame will be released on Thursday, April 25 in the UK and on Friday, April 26 in the US.
