James Gunn Talks About Directing Stan Lee For Future Cameos

This week, we heard news about James Gunn directing future Stan Lee cameos for Marvel movies, meaning for the next few films, the comics legend is already set to be inserted into the final edit.

Gunn has now talked about that experience by way of a Facebook post (via ScreenRant). It seems like he had a lot of fun shooting it, and there is even a funny story of what Lee said to Tom Holland when they met for the first time.

And it was definitely one of the most fun times I've ever had on set. There are few people in this world I love and admire more and have more fun with than Stan Lee. Even though he does love breaking my, and everyone else's balls (I introduced him to Tom Holland for the first time and he said, "Everyone says you're great! Personally, I don't see it."). Although, to be honest, I think I only did THREE cameos – one was shot by someone else. And my third probably isn't what you think it is…

If you've seen the Doctor Strange cameo, it was one of MANY versions I shot on the day, and Scott Derrickson chose the final one. If I'm writing for Stan, why give him one line when I can give him a thousand? I just kept throwing lines at him one after the other, until we were all doubled over with laughter. Someday, after you've seen the movie, maybe Marvel Studios will let me share some of those with you.

Nice to have the official, other side of the story for this. I hope we do see more of the takes done on that day. Sounds like a lot of fun!
