Nowhere in the Marvel franchise is it safe from Stan Lee's appearance, as the legendary comic book creator is known to play cameo roles in his creations' films. And just recently, he has joined the anniversary photo of Marvel studios in what seems to be another cameo occurrence.

Lee took to Twitter to make a post with a link sharing Jon Favreau's ("Iron Man" director) photo tweet about Marvel studio's 10-year anniversary class picture. The 95-year-old former editor-in-chief of Marvel then put the caption: "Can you spot yours truly in this marvelous photo?"

The photo included all the actors of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) such as Robert Downey Jr. ("Iron Man"), Chris Hemsworth ("Thor"), Chris Evans ("Captain America") and even some of those in the supporting roles like Jeff Goldblum ("Thor: Ragnarok"). As for those who do not want to go through the trouble of spotting Lee, he is right beside Captain America, to the right of the center of the photo.

It can be assumed that the photo was also taken on the set of "Avengers: Infinity War" since everyone involved in the MCU is present in that movie and seems to have attended there as well. It is also worth noting that Lee is referencing his cameo appearances in all of the MCU and even Fox's "Spiderman" and "X-Men" movies, in which he appeared briefly and spoke a few lines and was often a welcome easter egg in said movies. So much so that fans even kept their eyes out for Lee in every Marvel movie.

For those unfamiliar with Lee, he is one of the people responsible for creating most of the members of the Avengers — Iron Man, Hulk and Thor, but is perhaps most famous for his co-creation of Spiderman, which is his most popular work. The next time Lee is expected to appear in the MCU in a cameo is in the upcoming "Black Panther" film, which is due a few days from now. He will also most likely appear in "Avengers: Infinity War."
