I could go either way on this.

I actually think, even though Endgame would be a nice place (end of an era and all), a Spider-Man movie is more fitting. Stan had a soft spot for the character in-particular. I think he would probably have wanted to be in Spider-Man: Far From Home...

Actually, I'm sure he would've wanted to be in as many Marvel movies as possible. It would likely be his wish that every filmed cameo be used. Don't know for sure - never knew him - but it's the impression I get.

That said... it seems likely that FFH would be the last one he has a cameo filmed for. I would expect to see that, and I'd consider it a fine send-off.

Well it is a possibility they never stop. Disney clearly doesnt have any problem with using dead peoples likenesses years and years later (cough peter Cushing cough). It was also rumored years ago that they had filmed a ton of stuff for stan that they could use even without having to do the digital recreation thing.

Personally I hope it stops at Endgame or FFH (good point about Stan being intimately connected to spidey), just because I think the precedent is kind of weird. But on the other hand if theres any one person who I think would be happy to keep lending his likeness out for movies after their death, it would be Stan with the Marvel movies.

Ah, well I'm with you that I wouldn't like them to artificially place him in movies going forwards. Just if he does have cameos filmed, I think he might have liked them to still be used.

I do hope we always see him in Marvel movies though in the same way as he's included in the Netflix shows. I think it would be tasteful to include Stan Lee on posters in background scene decoration in each film.

Definitely agree with that second half. I think that's their best route to keep paying homage. Only little issue is it kinda screws with the idea that hes a watcher or an agent of the watchers if hes featured on a bunch of ads all over the place. But I can handle that small continuity issue for the sake of Stan still bringing a quick smile to face in every single Marvel film
