The introduction of The Watchers is no small moment in the story of the MCU . Even though Marvel Studiosdoes not have the rights to use Uatu the Watcher , they can use lesser - known Watchers ( like Rooatu and Boofu , according to Gunn ) . look at Thanos is train for his full - scale flack on the universe , the Watchers could appear in the MCU again in the future tense , but wo n’t be intervene with whatever is happening .
Still , this proved to be one Lee ’s most famous cameos , in no small part because it reassert the long - standing fan theory about Lee ’s part in the MCU . With that theory now " official " and Lee being an honorary Watcher of sort , his proceed fundamental interaction with Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes make them that much more important - while also explaining how one man can travel all across the galaxy at ease .
Just like so many others , Gunn is a immense fan of Stan Lee ’s - which is why if any director was going to make this theory canon , it would be him . They also appear to have a strong relationship - not only from this photo - as Gunn was the one who filmed four of Lee ’s MCU cameos in a single day . Lee ’s cameo are already solidify for next films as well , with the fabled storyteller having revealedhe has five more MCU cameos in the booksnow - and we ca n’t wait to see them all .
