Kevin Smith has invited Stan Lee to appear in Clerks 3.

The Marvel Comics legend observed that he had not been asked to appear in one of the director's movies since 1995's Mallrats, during a podcast interview for Fatman on Batman.

"I'm writing Clerks 3, and you've got a part." said Smith. "Yes, and you're in the first... I think it's like the first ten minutes."

Lee did not officially accept but reacted with excitement to the suggestion.

The writer has made several appearances in Smith's Comic Book Men TV show.

The director has promised that the film will be "the best film I'll ever make".
