- Fantastic Four (2005): Willie Lumpkin. The only cameo appearance in which Stan plays a character he co-created, the Fantastic Four's mailman, Willie Lumpkin.
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007): Wedding Crasher. This bit, in which Stan is kept out of Reed and Sue's wedding, is a fun recreation of a similar bit in Fantastic Four Annual #3, in which the comic book Stan Lee and Fantastic Four co-author Jack Kirby are similarly barred entry.
- Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2: Lost Astronaut. Lee appears twice in this one, both during the movie and in a post-credits scene, as he's briefly seen recounting his cameo exploits to the Watchers, the ancient alien race of cosmic observers whom the real Stan Lee co-created in the comics.

In Iron Man, Tony Stark arrives at the benefit for the Firefighters’ Family Fund. Tony pats Stan Lee on the back and says: "Looking great, Heff!" as in Hugh Hefner, the creator of Playboy magazine. Lee is surrounded by women, which backs up the fact he plays a Hefner-lookalike. However, Lee is credited with playing himself. This is Lee's first MCU ...
In Iron Man 3, Stan Lee appears as an enthusiastic beauty pageant judge. Of the three Iron Manmovies, this is the only one in which Lee's cameo does not involve him playing, or being mistaken for, another celebrity. It is also one of his briefest cameos.
In Guardians of the Galaxy, as Rocket scans the planet of Xandar with his device, he stops at Stan Lee himself, as he's talking to a woman. Rocket mentions him in connection with all that's wrong with the planet. The alien text that appears next to Stan Lee reads his catchphrase "Excelsior!" in the Skrull language.

He encourages Luis' cousin to go talk to a "crazy stupid fine woman."
In Captain America: The First Avenger, Stan Lee appears as a general in the audience waiting to honor Captain America (Chris Evans). Although Lee did not create Captain America, he did reintroduce the character into Marvel Comics during the 60s, made him a member of the Avengers, and established the man-out-of-time angle of the character. Also, it ...
"Hey, it's Larry King!" and it's just Stan Lee in a red shirt, tie, and iconic suspenders. This is how Tony mistakenly greets Stan Lee as Larry King during the Stark Expo in Iron Man 2. It was the perfect pun to make, considering how truly similar their voices and appearances are. All it takes is to watch King's interviewwith Lee, and you'll see fo...
In Thor: The Dark World, Stan Lee is funnily credited as himself. He plays a patient in a mental ward who only wants his shoe back from Erik Selvig, who used it for his demonstration. Although many people think that this particular movie isn't among the best ones in the MCU, Lee's cameo is undeniably one of the good parts and shows how he can liven...

Even though it's hard to decide, Stan Lee, the creator of the character, said that Tom Holland is his favorite Spider-Man and exactly who he envisioned when he created Peter Parker.
