Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel comic book heros ranging from Spider-Man to the X-Men to the Incredible Hulk, recently filmed four separate movie cameos in one day, according to MoviePilot.com.
The website cited Marvel Studios executive Kevin Feige, who told audience members at a “Captain America: Civil War” screening about it.
“A couple of months ago in Atlanta, he [Lee] flew down and we shot four in one day — for four various projects. They’re all awesome!” Mr. Feige said, as quoted by MoviePilot.com. “They’re all totally different. And he was unbelievable. He was on fire. He came in, he sat here, he stood there, he stood in this window, and then he went home.”
Earlier this year, the 93-year-old Mr. Lee confirmed that his appearance at next month’s Comic-Con in New York City will be his last. In a January interview, Mr. Lee told the Radio Times that his eyesight is so poor he can no longer read comic books.
All the same, as the wildly successful son of Jewish immigrants tells it, his fantastic career in the comic-book business is an incredible superhero story of sorts.
“I always say that luck is the greatest superpower, because if you have good luck, everything goes your way,” he told the Radio Times.
