Stan Lee believes that he is Hitchcock


From slashfilm, In the wake of WonderCon there are a great many little comic book tidbits floating around, so let’s start with Stan Lee. With summer approaching he is talking about cameos. To THR he jokes that he’d like to be in The Dark Knight Rises (“I wonder why DC Comics doesn’t have me do a cameo in Batman? Just think how people would come to see that. They wouldn’t believe it.”) and to Digital Spy he sings his own praises in Thor: “…like all [my other cameos] it is magnificent. It’s the high spot of the movie. I’m a little sorry about these cameos because people are so affected by them and influenced by them they don’t notice what else is going on in the movie.”

Oh, and the creator of Spider-Man doesn’t have a problem with a British actor playing his creation (“I think the more actors that we use from away in other countries is brilliant,” he says, “because we are one world and we’ve got to stick up for that.”) not that we expected to hear anything else. Stan Lee isn’t really a guy that’s going to start raging against the studio system now. But it’s good to get his blessing, I suppose.
