There's a beautiful Stan Lee tribute in Captain Marvel (other than his cameo) and it WILL make you cry

There’s certain things every Marvel movie has. A comic book Easter egg, a post-credits scene, a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stan Lee cameo… Having seen 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain Marvel, I can confirm that the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new Marvel movie has all of these things, including a Stan Lee cameo, despite the comic book creator 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sadly passing away just four months before the film&rsqu🧸o;s release. But it also pays tribute to Stan Lee in another, surprising way, which no one will see coming.

Although I wouldn’t consider this a spoiler for Captain Marvel, the Stan Lee tribute might be something you want to see for yourself when the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming movie hits cinemas on March 8, so make sure you really want to𒀰 know what happens before reading on. Are you sure? Ok. 

, which sees various comic book strips flip across the screen before showing images from the MCU and eventually revealing the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios logo. In most Marvel movies, thisಌ intro subtly changes to reflect the film it’s attached to, but there was no sign of the MCU’s newest hero in the Captain Marvel iꦚntro. Instead, every single image was of Stan Lee. 

Rather than the usual collection of images of on-screen superheroes, the Marvel Studios intro for Captain Marvel features images from Stan Lee’s most memorable MCU cameos, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Captain America: Civil War, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thor: Ragnarok. Coming to a close with the 🐟words “Thank you Stan”, it’s a fitting tribute for someone who contributed so much to the world of superhero comics and without whom the MCU itself wouldn’t exist. Understandably, it’s an emotional moment, which brought a tear to more than one eye in the screening room, myself included. 

While Stan Lee also has his usual cameo in Captain Marvel, having filmed it before he died (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:along with a few others), it’s the edited Marvel Studios intro that will really hit fans hard when they sit down to watch the film this weekend. There’s no word yet on whether this same intro will appear before the other two Marvel movies coming out this year (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Avengers 4: Endgame and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spider-Man: Far From Home), but I’d say it’s probably likely. Either way, make ꦫsure you bring some tissues to the cinema when you go to see Captain Marvel because you won’t have much time to dry your eyes before the action starts. 

Spoiler alert! Here’s what happens in the Captain Marvel ending and Captain Marvel post-credits scenes (if you want to know).
