Fox(NEW YORK) — Stan Lee is the legendary co-creator of classic Marvel comic characters like Spider-Man, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and the Fantastic Four. The most recent version of the latter flopped miserably at the box office when it debuted a few weeks ago. So does Lee know why?

“Well, it was probably because I didn’t have a cameo in it,” he quipped during a recent interview on Larry King Now on the online portal Ora TV. 

Lee traditionally has a cameo in every film based on a Marvel character.

Lee also said he wasn’t consulted on the story.

Lee added that he has yet to see the film. “I don’t run to see anything…I just get there eventually,” he explained.

Fantastic Four, starring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell, is out now.
