The 46-year-old filmmaker has revealed that Lee was so good that he kept giving him lines irrespective of knowing the fact that he only had a cameo in all Marvel films, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"There are few people in this world I love and admire more and have more fun with than Stan Lee.
"If I'm writing for Stan, why give him one line when I can give him a thousand? I just kept throwing lines at him one after the other, until we were all doubled over with laughter," Gunn said.
"To be honest, I think I only did 'three' cameos- one was shot by someone else. And my third probably isn't what you think it is...," he said.
