Which movie is that in?

I guess the second part of Infinity War, coming up next year. Filming of that one has long been completed. But I'm not up to speed with the MCU at large, so there might be some other minor movie. EDIT: there is Captain Marvel too, already wrapped; and there are rumours that others might have already been filmed, for projects further down the line.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he had already filmed one for Spider-Man: Far From Home, that one has wrapped production. It's a possibility that he may have some canned appearances meant for future movies as well, but I think FFH is the last one where they could have physically brought him onto the set.

The Stan Lee cameo.

Don't be flippant. The man changed the cultural landscape way before any movie of his creations had been shot.

That wasn't flippant. Comics were already pushing $2 an issue by the time I noticed them. TV, movies, and Netflix are my only exposure to his creations.

The cameo is something just about everyone knows about and enjoys. People who couldn't afford comics growing up and couldn't get into them later know it. It's iconic. That's great.

Very few modern artists have contributed as much to culture (pop or otherwise) as Stan Lee. I'm just happy that his efforts (and others like him like Kirby, Alan Moore, Grant Morrisson, Brian Vaughan, Frank Miller, Miyazaki, Hosoda et al) have created a tour-de-force of modern-day storytelling. It's almost ironic that I was just finishing a Batman arc when I first heard the news. The news of his death doesn't really…

I agree here. I am not a fan of comic books nor superhero films. My wife loves them though so we have seen most Marvel movies and it id probably where I know Stan Lee from.

Though IIRC he appeared in "the big bang theory" as well.

Of course - his legacy are the characters and stories and not just the cameos :)

It's daunting to think of how many words have been written in titles he cocreated.

He quite possibly helped create the largest piece of fiction humanity has ever written.

But cameos drawn into the comics were notable even before they were movies. That the movies continued the tradition made the cameos even better.
