We were already missing some kind of reference to Stan Lee in WandaVision, and the episode “Breaking the Fourth Wall” (1x07) has finally brought it to us.
We are all aware that New Yorker Stan Lee (1922-2018), along with cartoonists Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby, was the proud progenitor of most of the most famous characters on the pages of Marvel comics. Almost all the installments of his Cinematic Universe had a cameo of his, and the only one that does not have it is Spider-Man: Far from home (Jon Watts, 2019). And, if you recognize yourself as a true fan of your superhero world and know who the name Charlotte Lee belonged to, you will have been able to find the Easter egg on her that is in Avengers: Endgame (Joe and Anthony Russo, 2019). Or the one that points to the scriptwriter himself on WandaVision (Jac Schaeffer, 2021).
A significant number
On the license plate of the car Wanda Maximoff drives, we see the number 122822: December 28, 1922, Stan Lee's date of birth
In the episode “Breaking the Fourth Wall” (1x07), which begins with a parody of television comedies such as The Office (Greg Daniels, Ricky Gervais, and Stephen Merchant, 2005-2013) or Modern Family (Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd, 2009- 2020) and, indeed, the breaking of the fourth wall, we find this Easter egg about Stan Lee. More specifically, in the titles of said parody, which are inspired by those of Happy Endings (David Caspe, 2011-2020). On the license plate of the car Wanda Maximoff drives (Elizabeth Olsen), we see this number: 122822. That is December 28, 1922, the date of birth of the late New York screenwriter.
