Make mine Nikita! Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics legend known for co-creating iconic superheroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, The X-Men, Hulk and many, many more, will be appearing on an upcoming episode of The CW's new series about the lovely and deadly former assassin, who is on a quest to get revenge against the group that turned her into a killer.
Lee of course has made cameo appearances in the vast majority of films based off of Marvel characters (and has an ongoing vocal role on the animated Super Hero Squad Show), but in recent years, he has also popped up in non-Marvel based projects like The Big Bang Theory and Heroes. Nikita will continue Lee's cameo-tradition, as he appears in the fifth episode of the new series, which will air Thursday, October 7th.
Lee's Nikita cameo came about when the show's star, Maggie Q, met Lee at San Diego Comic-Con in July and the two discussed the possibility of Lee appearing on the show. With Lee in Toronto (where Nikita films) for Fan Expo this past weekend, the timing worked out for him to also film a scene for the TV series.
Nikita premieres next Thursday, September 8th, at 9pm ET/PT on The CW.
