The Stan Lee cameo is a special part of every Marvel movie.
That being said, his appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is special.
Everyone always knows that it’s coming, and yet it’s always delightful to see the co-founder of the comic book company deliver a silly line or play in a funny scene.
It’s a fantastic and funny moment in the blockbuster, but what makes it really fascinating is the implication that it may have worked for all Marvel films, not just those in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
