8 More Movie Fan Theories Confirmed By The Creators

1. Stan Lee Is Involved With The Watchers - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2

The Theory: Stan Lee cameos are of course a staple of Marvel movies, and in recent years a theory emerged online that Lee isn't merely playing dozens of distinct, separate characters, but actually a single entity.

The theory posits that Lee is most likely a member of the Watchers and quite possibly even Uatu the Watcher himself, an alien from the comics who was tasked with observing events on Earth.

The Confirmation: Though it didn't turn out that Lee was playing Uatu, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 nevertheless saw Lee hanging out with the Watchers and discussing the time he was a Fed-Ex delivery man, a blatant reference to his Captain America: Civil War cameo. This quite obviously confirmed that his MCU cameos are all experienced by the same being.

Lee is actually credited as a "Watcher Informant" rather than being a Watcher himself, so while it's not quite a spot-on confirmation, it's close enough to be a tick in the win column for proponents of the theory.

Which of these confirmed fan theories pleased you the most? Got any others to share? Shout them out in the comments!
