Most of Lee’s cameos are funny and very short, but in Into the Spider-Verse he gets a full scene with young Morales. His cameo does feel like a punch in the gut, though. Of course, fans were expecting him to be in Sony’s animated movie, and they’re not going to be disappointed. He’s cameoed in just about every Marvel movie since before the Marvel Cinematic Universe started. His co-conspirator, Lee, passed away a few weeks ago in November. If you look closely though, his name does pop up on a cell phone contact list about halfway through the film in a small homage to the Spider-Man creator. (There are mild spoilers for Into the Spider-Verse below.)ĭitko died in June at the age of 90, so he didn’t appear in Into the Spider-Verse. All of these Spider-Man spin-offs wouldn’t be possible without the late Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Luckily, he has Peter Parker, Spider-Woman (aka Gwen Stacy), Peni Parker, Spider-Ham and Spider-Man Noir to teach him the ropes. This all sounds familiar so far, but he has to learn how to be Spider-Man while the Multi-verse is on the verge of collapse.
In this animated movie, fans meet Miles Morales, a kid from Brooklyn who got bit by a radioactive spider. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has a ton of Spider-People in it.
