Comics icon Stan Lee has said that he would love to see Kevin Smith direct a Marvel blockbuster.

Speaking at the London Film and Comic Con, Lee claimed that Smith - who gave him a cameo role in Mallrats - would do "a great job" with a Marvel character on the big screen.

"He's the 'fella who did the movie Mallrats years ago. My first starring vehicle!" Lee quipped. "Kevin knows the comics as well as anybody - I don't know why Marvel doesn't hire him to do one of their movies. Maybe they will."



Smith has previously worked on Daredevil comic book runs for Marvel and penned the six-issue limited series Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do.

Lee also addressed his favourite Marvel movie cameos, highlighting two appearances in particular: "The one I did where I was the librarian and I was playing music while Spider-Man was having a life or death battle with the Lizard, [and] the time they wouldn't let me into the Fantastic Four's wedding because they didn't believe I was who I was."
