Things We Saw Today: The MCU Says Goodbye to Stan Lee
Our hearts are heavy today with the loss of comics icon Stan Lee. His imprint on popular culture was undeniable, and his library of beloved characters still resonates decades after their inception. There has been a huge outpouring of memories and eulogies on social media, as fans and friends commemorate the man behind some of our favorite superheroes.
Many stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe took to Twitter to remember Stan Lee, whose cameos in the films were always a source of delight.
There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!

No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family, and his millions of fans. #ThankYouStan #Excelsior!
