James Gunn has revealed initial plans for the late Marvel legend.
James Gunn has revealed that he had written a cameo role for Marvel co-creator Stan Lee in the script for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but Lee passed away before he was able to film it. Lee had a long history of making blink-and-you'll-miss-it roles throughout the history of Marvel films, and his most recent appearance came in Avengers: Endgame.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Speaking in the director's commentary for Guardians 3, Gunn explained that the script had been written prior to Lee's death and so the cameo, as Lambshank, was planned to be voiceover only to save him the travel.
"I originally wrote Lambshank, the character I played, for Stan Lee," Gunn explained. "Because I wrote the movie before Stan passed on, and I also knew he was getting much older, and it would be hard to bring him to Atlanta to shoot, so I did a character that I could just animate and then have him do the voice and have a little Stan Lee-like face on the character, but unfortunately, Stan passed – who I really enjoyed working with and directing so many times over these movies.
In the Guardians movies, Lee first played an elderly Xandarian citizen known as "The Watcher Informant." He was seen sitting on a planet surrounded by other Watchers, sharing his experiences from various Marvel movies, implying that he is a cosmic observer witnessing events across the universe. He reprised that role in Volume 2 where Lee's character is seen talking to a group of aliens, recounting a hilarious and exaggerated story about his time as a delivery man on Earth.
