Marvel

There are plenty of fan theories around Marvel, many retaining to the comics, due to its extensive universe and multiverses. However, since many people who have never even picked up a comic book love the Marvel cinematic universe here is an MCU (and other marvel movies) fan theory: Stan Lee is the Watcher. The MCU strive for continuity, yet Stan Lee appears in his cameo role time and time again as a different character each time. One explanation for this is that Stan is actually playing the same character dawning different disguises, thus not messing up the much strived for continuity of the MCU and other marvel films. Whilst the Watchers are not supposed to interfere and Stan clearly does to a minor degree so too did Uatu the Watcher, in the comic books. Stan Lee is in fact one of the creators of Uatu the Watcher. He created the character alongside Jack Kirby in the 1960s.

If this theory is true, what could it mean? Not only does it add more purpose to the cameos and fix continuity issues but it may connect all the movies that Stan Lee featured in, such as Fox’s Hulk movie series, the multiple Spider-man movies by Sony and the X-Men franchise as well as the more recent Deadpool. Clearly, all these movies cannot co-exist within one universe but the connection created by Stan Lee’s appearance may be signs that all the storylines are set within one larger Marvel multiverse, with all the earths being observed by Uatu the Watcher, as portrayed by Stan Lee.
