'Captain Marvel' Opens With Stan Lee Tribute
By Hannah Wigandt
The first press screening of Captain Marvel has happened. While we don't know too much about the highly-anticipated movie, we do know the movie begins with a Stan Lee tribute.
Journalist Anna Klassen tweeted about it saying, "#CaptainMarvel opens with a very touching Stan Lee tribute that Marvel fans will love."
Stan Lee, the Marvel producer turned cameo legend, died this past November at the age of 95.
"He's the godfather of a lot of these stories, him and Jack Kirby," Joe Russo, co-director of Avengers: Endgame, said "...So, Stan, typically we try to get him out — he doesn't love to fly — so we try to get him out for his cameos around the same time. So if we have other movies shooting on the same lot that we're on, for instance Ant-Man [and the Wasp] or Avengers 4, we group his cameos together and then move him from one set to the next and get him through his cameos in one day."
Critics such as ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis, have gone on social media to announce to fans that if they love the Captain Marvel comics, they will definitely love the movie.
