Now that Stan Lee is dead, I am wondering if I'll be able to see his legendary cameo in the upcoming Avengers 4 movie.
Did he finish shooting for it?

Star Wars didn't seem to have any problem with using CGI to recreate dead actors, Marvel could easily do the same with Stan Lee if they wanted.

@RobbyReindeer Star Wars didn't do it at the last minute, though. It had been planned for quite a long time. Also, one of the recreated actors in Star Wars wasn't actually dead at the time of the recreation. She was just a lot older, though she has unfortunately died since then.

@RobbyReindeer Star Wars also had controversy sparking the usage of Peter Cushing (Tarkin) in Rogue 1 on whether or not it should have been done. That was with an actor who died well over 20 years ago. They might use unpublished footage, but for Leia and Stan Lee, I think most fans would feel it is too soon to CGI them into a movie.

It would appear that he filmed a cameo for Avengers 4, according to Director Joe Russo.
"So, Stan, typically we try to get him out — he doesn't love to fly —
so we try to get him out for his cameos around the same time," Russo
stated. "So if we have other movies shooting on the same lot that
we're on, for instance Ant-Man 2 or Avengers 4, we group his cameos
together and then move him from one set to the next and kind of get
him through his cameos in one day."
IGN:UK - STAN LEE ALREADY FILMED HIS AVENGERS 4 CAMEO
Whether they include it in the film remains to be seen, but it would be surprising if they don't given that he was reported to be making additional cameos

@KyleStrand: Well I'm not sure. The third Matrix movie wasn't that bad (CGI-wise) and that was 15 years ago. The 50-year-younger-50-lbs-more-muscle Arnold Schwarzenegger seen in "Genisys" looked pretty convincing to me, too. Remember Gollum? Over 15 years ago, and pretty convincing. Zemeckis' Beowulf (Winstone at least) wasn't that great, admitted (though Jolie bought me) -- again, over 10 years ago. Getting a believeable cameo (which is what, 2-3 seconds in the back of a scene?) would be no technical challenge to a studio. That's something you can almost do mostly-believeably at home.

@Damon Not only is it expensive and time-consuming, the results tend to get mixed reception. Many people considered the Rogue One CGI to be well in the realm of the uncanny valley.

Getting a believeable cameo (which is what, 2-3 seconds in the back of a scene?) would be no technical challenge to a studio. That's something you can almost do mostly-believeably at home.

@KyleStrand: Well I'm not sure. The third Matrix movie wasn't that bad (CGI-wise) and that was 15 years ago. The 50-year-younger-50-lbs-more-muscle Arnold Schwarzenegger seen in "Genisys" looked pretty convincing to me, too. Remember Gollum? Over 15 years ago, and pretty convincing. Zemeckis' Beowulf (Winstone at least) wasn't that great, admitted (though Jolie bought me) -- again, over 10 years ago. Getting a believeable cameo (which is what, 2-3 seconds in the back of a scene?) would be no technical challenge to a studio. That's something you can almost do mostly-believeably at home.

@Damon: Recreating an actor is an expensive time-consuming process. It is a challenge.

@Damon Not only is it expensive and time-consuming, the results tend to get mixed reception. Many people considered the Rogue One CGI to be well in the realm of the uncanny valley. Also, since the point of Stan Lee's cameos is "hey, it's Stan Lee", rather than something in-universe and character-based, there's little reason to continue the tradition now that he's no longer alive.

I'd anticipate easter eggs. Something like a hotdog cart labelled as "Ol' Stan's New York Style Hotdogs" and a really young person saying "my grampa left me this cart..." or in a similar vein.

Star Wars didn't seem to have any problem with using CGI to recreate dead actors, Marvel could easily do the same with Stan Lee if they wanted.

@RobbyReindeer: And both franchises are owned by Disney.

@RobbyReindeer Star Wars didn't do it at the last minute, though. It had been planned for quite a long time. Also, one of the recreated actors in Star Wars wasn't actually dead at the time of the recreation. She was just a lot older, though she has unfortunately died since then.

@RobbyReindeer Star Wars also had controversy sparking the usage of Peter Cushing (Tarkin) in Rogue 1 on whether or not it should have been done. That was with an actor who died well over 20 years ago. They might use unpublished footage, but for Leia and Stan Lee, I think most fans would feel it is too soon to CGI them into a movie.

@RobbyReindeer Also, the characters in Rogue One had major plot-related roles, even though Leia's was brief. (See also Blade Runner 2049.) Lee's cameos are never plot-crucial; the appeal of his cameos is purely "hey, it's Stan Lee having fun!"
