It has been months since the world said goodbye to Stan Lee but he still has a habit of turning up unexpectedly. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo released a new image of the comic book icon Stan Lee's retro cameo in Avengers: Endgame.
As the film's spoiler embargo lifts, the filmmakers shared a new behind-the-scenes image of Stan shooting his final Marvel cameo. Gathered around the comic book icon, who died at age 95 last November, are screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, directors Joe and Anthony and executive producer Trinh Tran.
Just because the spoiler ban is lifting, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat your fellow humans with respect and dignity during discourse. Or that you should run around intentionally trying to spoil the movie for people who haven’t seen it...#BeKindOutThere#NuffSaid pic.twitter.com/MMl6bpXQ4P

Stan played a grinning, bushy-haired hippie rambler when Iron Man and Captain America venture back in time to the year 1970. in a white muscle car with a sticker that declared, "'Nuff said". That was just one of Stan the Man’s catchphrases from his messages to readers of Marvel Comics.
“It’s sort of the hippie era, and Stan’s cameoing as a hippie and it’s the free-love era,” Joe Russo explains. “He’s saying, ‘Make love, not war!’ They didn’t get into the specifics of this particular technique, but by scanning Lee’s face, they could Photoshop away the years and make him look half his age.
“It seemed like fun when we originally had the idea, before Stan passed,” Joe says. “Oh, what did Stan look like in the ’70s?” As archival photos can tell you, he looks pretty much the same as the movie — like this“. It’s the last Stan Lee cameo that made it to film,” Joe says.
