There are plenty of great Easter eggs in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (namely Adam Warlock's "appearance" and Jeff Goldblum's Grandmaster sneakily dancing in the credits), but there was none better than Stan Lee's cameo as an informant to the Watchers.

During the jump gate sequence, Lee is first spotted hanging out on a planet with the Watchers, telling a story about his time as a FedEx employee. This is clearly a reference to Lee's cameo as a FedEx delivery man in Captain America: Civil War, and sees the MCU finally confronting the popular fan theory that all of Stan Lee's MCU cameos are by the same individual, making Lee a Watcher, most likely Uatu.

Though director James Gunn has since confirmed that Lee is merely playing an informant to the Watchers rather than one himself, it was still awesome to see an entertaining fan theory toyed with in an MCU movie itself.
