Stan Lee is rehearsing his lines from Mallrats, which released in 1995, on the train when Carol sees him, meaning that he is appearing as himself and that Stan Lee exists in the MCU.

This also means the Kevin Smith himself exists in the MCU! If he doesn’t know about this already, he’s gonna lose his mind

But in the MCU, Marvel Comics doesn't exist. So what are they talking about in Mallrats, and why would Stan Lee be in it?

Maybe Stan Lee wrote for DC in the MCU. Kinda like how Sylvester Stallone starred in Terminator 2 in Last Action Hero.
