Stan Lee will make a special guest appearance in the Feb. 4 episode of Agents of SHIELD.
In a development that should not surprise any Marvel true believer, it is being reported that Stan Lee will make an appearance in an upcoming episode of Agents of SHIELD.
The Hollywood Reporter was the first to break the story that Lee would appear in the February 4, 2014 episode of Agents of SHIELD. While it is currently unspecified what character he will play, Lee told the trade that it would be “a big role.” The news was also broken with the above image of Lee standing with stars Clark Gregg and Elizabeth Henstridge, as well as executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen.
Lee is of course considered one of the great godfathers of the Marvel Universe, having co-created much of the empire’s stable with artists that include Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Lee also has a penchant for appearing in cameo roles in many, many Marvel movies starting with X-Men all the way back in 2000.
Agents of SHIELD airs Tuesdays at 8pm ET/PT on ABC.
