Answering questions via a Reddit AMA this week, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige told fans that Stan Lee “unfortunately did not get to see” the final movie in phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Feige explained that Lee preferred to wait until each movie’s premiere before watching it therefore he was unable to see Avengers: Endgame, even though he appears in it for one final cameo as a digitally de-aged car driver in 1970.

However, Feige, who has been the President of Marvel Studios since 2007 and has overseen all 22 movies in the MCU, did say that Lee was privy to the movie’s plot details.

Other revelations that came from Feige’s Reddit AMA included how the movie Elf is the reason Jon Favreau was selected to kickstart the MCU off with Ironman, how Robert Downey Jr. was a hard sell to the studio initially, and that fans can expect more Hulk in forthcoming Marvel movies.
