Stan Lee’s Cameo
It might not be part of the MCU, but Venom‘s still a Marvel movie so you know what that means – Stan Lee gets to show up! The legend’s customary cameo happens right at the end of the film, and like his previous appearances, it seems to suggest that he knows more than he’s letting on.
Eddie bumps into Lee when he’s just said goodbye to Anne and Stan tells him that he shouldn’t let her go – both of them. Brock doesn’t seem fazed that this random old man knows that he has a symbiote, but Venom himself doesn’t appear to like him. “Who was that guy?” it says, in a great laugh out loud moment.
The way Lee apparently knows that Eddie Brock’s Venom makes us think of his Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 cameo which revealed that all of his MCU roles are one and the same as he works for the Watchers (presumably to keep an eye on superheroes).
