Venom: 18 Easter Eggs & References Explained

6. Stan Lee

You'd be forgiven for forgetting that Stan Lee was basically duty-bound to appear in this movie, and so he shows up at the tail-end of the film for one of its funnier moments.

Lee is walking a dog when he comes across Eddie and Venom, who are plotting to win Anne back. In a neat meta moment, Lee tells "both of them" not to give up on her, at which point Venom inquires about the identity of the man ("Who was that guy?") and possibly eating his dog. Charming.

It may not be an all-timer cameo, but how can you not love seeing Tom Hardy and Stan the Man share the screen for a brief moment?
