Anyone that has ever seen any of the movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe knows to look out for one constant easter egg, the creator of the Marvel Universe himself, Stan Lee. Throughout the history of the MCU, fans have had the pleasure of searching each film to find exactly where and how Stan Lee will pop up, turning it into somewhat of an ongoing inside joke between the filmmakers and the moviegoers. Unfortunately, with Stan Lee’s passing, the end his cameos is upon us, but Funko decided to take matters into their own hands and memorialize these amazing cameos forever. As part of their reveal of San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Funko Pops, Funko has revealed a very dashing Stan Lee from his appearance in Iron Man.

With COVID-19 taking the world by storm, comic conventions around the globe have sadly been put at a standstill, however, this didn’t stop Funko from unveiling their new line intended for exclusive release at San Diego Comic-Con. Despite its real-world cancelation, San Diego Comic-Con is still bringing new news to fans around the world via a digital edition of the event. San Diego Comic-Con will now instead be hosting a virtual version of the event online on July 22-26.

Releasing in 2008, the live-action adaptation of comic book character Iron Man took the world by storm, surprising both hardcore comic fans and casual moviegoers alike, setting the stage for the absolutely massive MCU that dominates the movie world today. Serving as the first film in a much larger universe, this is technically the first cameo that Stan Lee plays in the entire MCU, making it quite a special moment in Marvel movie history.
