Is there a Stan Lee cameo in ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’?

Stan Lee is without a doubt the biggest name in comic books — he started working for Marvel way back in 1941 and co-created some of its most famous heroes, like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor, the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men. He was, without a doubt, a towering figure in the history of the comic book format.

And since the first “X-Men” movie it’s been a tradition for Lee to make a cameo appearance in movies based on Marvel comic books. He hasn’t popped up in everything — he skipped, for example, both “Punisher” movies and “Elektra,” to name a couple — but for the most part you could expect to see him when you head to the theater to check out the newest Marvel flick.

But Lee died late last year, meaning his run of cameos would eventually have to come to an end. But he has appeared in both “Captain Marvel” and “Avengers: Endgame” this year, and there was some uncertainty about whether he had filmed any further cameos before his death.

Having seen “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” we can report that it does not contain an appearance by Stan Lee. If you’re reading this after seeing the movie for yourself and are worried you might have just missed it, rest assured that there was nothing to miss — the age of Stan Lee cameos would seem to be over, with “Avengers: Endgame” being his last movie appearance.

In an interview with CinemaBlend, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” director Jon Watts said “It felt right” for “Endgame” to be his last cameo and that they didn’t shoot an appearance for him because of his declining health.

Stan Lee also did not appear in June’s “Dark Phoenix.”

That makes “Endgame” the end of an era for more than just the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s also the end of the Stan Lee cameo era. Though it was not his last screen appearance — Lee’s voice was also featured in several episodes of the “Big Hero 6” show on the Disney Channel, with his last episode airing May 16. Lee also has a part in the self-referential Jason Mewes film “Madness in the Method,” which will get a streaming release in August.
