>> Crazy Nate: We all know that Stan Lee is the legend responsible for so many super heroes
that we grew up with, with comics movies, and even more.
He's always been in the Marvel movies as a cameo to his creations. and today we're looking
specifically at his hand in the Marvel movies, even though he's even been seen outside of
the marvel cinematic universe.
It's already confirmed that he's a cameo in Marvels endgame, don't worry, there are no
Endgame spoilers in this video here today.
And me mentioning that he's in Endgame isn't a secret, even the co-director of Endgame
Joe Russo already released this information.
Now I'm not going to tell you where you can find Stan Lee in Endgame as of just yet.
So that way you get a chance to go find him for yourself one final time.
Or is it?
So today's question that we're looking to answer is this, are we going to be seeing
Stan Lee again in future Marvel movies, or is Endgame the end for Stan Lee's Cameos.
(intro music plays)
I hid five $25 gift cards for crazy Nate merch, be the first to find the code use it at check

So is Endgame the endgame for Stan Lee's cameos?
This may seem like an obvious yes that we wont be seeing Stan Lee's cameo ever again,
but I'm going to show you three ways that Marvel can and should continue to make Stan
Lee cameos.
This is going to allow him to live for infinity years with his characters.
The first way would be the easiest way, and we've already seen this done many times in
other easter eggs, and cameos, and that's simply by putting the face on any poster or
in a picture frame, or even in a street name, anything of that sort would do the job.
Now we've already seen this done many times in movies before, and not just for people
who are no longer with us.
A recent example would be in Pixar's movie Coco, they put in an easter egg for their
next movie release at that time at least was Incredibles two.
Which wasn't the characters or face, or even voice actors, but literally a worn out mural
or poster on the side of a wall and it was in a very brief moment of the video.
Stan Lee in fact was already a cameo like this, and just like Pixar's Coco, we see Stan
Lee is a mural on the wall in deadpool two.
Another option, number two right?
Another option would be with CGI, or also known as computer generated Imagery, this
technology's been around a long time, a good example would be back in 1999 they were working
on a movie called Gladiator.
Which is one of the best movies of all time for grown ups at least.
One of the main characters was Proximo, that's this guy, and he was played by Oliver Reed.
Oliver Reed unfortunately passed away before they could finish filming, and since he was
such an important role in the film it would be way too expensive and unrealistic to re-shoot
all the scenes that they already had with them.
So this scene right here, they found another actor that was about the same body size, and
they had him walk to the fence, and stand by the fence, then they digitally put Oliver
Reed's face over his face, and here you go, tada, it looks like Oliver Reed.
They also had to film this scene as well, but he already passed, so they couldn't for
this scene, so for this scene it was Oliver Reed's face, and body, they just changed the
lighting and the background from an earlier clip and then they changed it from day to
night.
A lot of times, actors will continue on past cut and add extra words that they feel and
that was exactly what happened here, he just kept talking and they kept recording, and
they happen to get something they could actually use.
>> Proximo: Shadows and dust.
Marcus Aurelius is dead Maximus, we mortals are but shadows and dust.
Shadows and dust Maximus, shadows and dust.
>> Crazy Nate: There's so much footage of Stan Lee talking that Marvel can make a program
with his face and voice to have him say what ever they needed him to say for the cameo
in future movies.
Kind of like a Siri, only with way better directions.
Option 3, the third way is probably the easiest option in all three of these cases.
For this option, lets looks at Ant-man and Wasp.
(music plays)
For Stan Lee's cameo in that movie they filmed several takes of what he says.
>> Stan Lee: Well, the 60's were fun, but now I'm paying for it.
>> Crazy Nate: Now a lot of these takes were universal meanings, so they could be applied
to other scenarios as a punchline, beside the fact of the vehicle just got done shrinking
in an ant movie.
>> Stan Lee: Talk about compact cars.
>> Crazy Nate: He's also standing in front of a green screen which makes it even easier
to fit him in a future movie.
>> Stan Lee: **** Should of paid those parking tickets.
>> Crazy Nate: Taking multiple shots like this with multiple lines wasn't uncommon for
Stan Lee, he always wanted to go above and beyond.
>> Stan Lee: Oh, no, my sandwich was in there.
>> Crazy Nate: He always wanted to offer a bunch of different takes for his cameo so
that the directors had more to choose from as well.
>> Stan Lee: Well, at least now I'll be able to park in San Francisco.
>> Crazy Nate: Now in hindsight, that's gonna pay off for future movies.
>> Stan Lee: Well, the 60's were fun, but now I'm paying for it.
>> Crazy Nate: So even though the famous Marvel director Joe Russo says it's Stan Lee's last
one committed to film, I don't believe it will be the last time we actually see Stan
Lee in a Marvel movie.
Now I know Joe Russo directed Endgame, Infinity War, and a few other Marvel movies, so I realize
that this is a pretty bold statement, however I do think they're gonna keep the tradition
going on.
and any movie that comes out in the future with one of Stan Lee's super heroes I'd be
willing to bet money that we're going to be seeing Stan Lee somewhere in that movie.
and I also think that we're going to be seeing Stan Lee in Dark Phoenix, even though it's
reported that he didn't film a single scene for the movie.
If you haven't seen Endgame yet, and you know morse code...
(starts to blink rapidly)
>> Dwight: Stop it.
>> Jim: Stop what?
>> Dwight: You're talking about me in morse code.
Michael.
>> Crazy Nate: Let me know what movie you want to talk about next, subscribe so you
don't miss our next adventure, but remember most importantly of all Gents and Gentlets,
share a smile, they are contagious.
>> Stan Lee: Oh man, I just stole this car!
Thank God it's a rental!
Well, looks like I'm walking.
Oh, Geeze, all my coupons were in there.
Talk about deminishing returns.
Oh man.
Everything is shrinking on me.
you know, I guess one person can make a difference, enough said.
