Marvel Studios is paying homage to comic book legend Stan Lee by compiling all the behind-the-scenes video of his numerous cameos in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movies. The studio is planning to release the video, possibly as an extra when Avengers: Endgame is released for in-home viewing.

“We’ve put a video together. We’ve never done this before, a behind-the-scenes of every cameo. All the B-roll that was shot and his stand-ups there. His passing was very emotional for all of us, but it suddenly all came back to me just when I watched it,” Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told Entertainment Weekly .

Feige also revealed that he had kept Stan Lee’s voicemail saved on his phone for the longest time.

“He left me a voicemail once, in 2004 or something. I’d never gotten a voicemail from Stan Lee, and I kept it for years until I think the phone disintegrated. But it was: ‘Fearless Feige! Stan Lee here .’ I listened to it over and over and over. That’s what he was always like — always supportive,” he said.

The studio is currently looking forward to the release of
