No, they won't. Part of the fun was watching for his cameo.
I have Spider-man: Homecoming and Ant-Man and the Wasp, but haven't had focus enough to watch them through yet. So, haven't seen his cameo in either of those.
Two favorites:
One of the more recent Sony Spider-Man movies with him as the school(?) librarian. He's doing his job, with headphones on listening to opera while Spider-Man (I think its Andrew Garfield's run) and the villain take the place apart around his oblivious self.
And, of course, more recently with the delivery man asking for Tony Stank...

I think my favorite cameo was in Deadpool. Stan Lee as the DJ at a strip club - what could be more incongruous?

Meh. Post exists, but I'll see if I can message it to you. Hang on... No. It just isn't going to send from my computer. Not even in email. The post is public, there's no reason why it shouldn't exist. Maybe if you go here, you'll be able to see it: www.minds.com/CeridwenBear in mind that Minds is one of those alt social media sites so some browsers might not like it. Stupid, really. At one point, if I wanted to share something over FB's messenger from Minds (my son-in-law likes art and there's a lot of art shared on Minds) Messenger would put up a warning about it not being a 'trusted site' and am I sure I want to continue and if so, check the box that says I'm not a bot. Messenger hasn't done that lately, but it's been done.

Not really answering myself here, I have a question or two.
1) How much these days did Stan Lee contribute to the creation and maintenance of the Marvel comics universe? I don't really understand this 'emeritus' title anywhere it's used - I know it confers respect, but does the So-and-so Emeritus have much say in the way things are run, or is it just a respectful title recognizing past contributions?
2) Leading to, how will Stan Lee's death impact Marvel's universes? Aside from his cameos in the movies, of course. Has Marvel been carrying on his vision (which would be a good idea, IMO, since he turned that company into gold) or has it gone its own way since conferring emeritus status on him? Will things change; will they change for the better or for the worse?

Its a respectful title recognizing past contributions.
As for how his death will impact Marvel and its movies... thinking Disney has heaved a large sigh of relief now that they have full free reign and all the Avenger actors are hitting the end of their contracts so Disney could really F*ck up things run things their own way.
Plus they're slowly getting back properties that other studios had movie rights to with the absorption of Fox which will return -- among others -- Fantastic Four and the X-Men franchise. Which they will probably reboot and retcon.
They have Jessica Jones and Daredevil on Netflix. They have canceled Iron Fist and Luke Cage. I've read they're going to do a series on their new All Disney streaming channel -- Disney+ -- with the Falcon and Bucky Barnes (with the originating actors) and one with Olsen and Hiddleston as Maximoff and Loki. And once the USA and SyFy channel run out of their contracts, there will be no Marvel movies broadcast there.

I liked Stan Lee. He always seemed like a good sport, and he was always happy. I hope Disney doesn't jinx Marvel now that he's gone.

So do I.
But, from some of what I've seen, I don't hold out a lot of hope.

Neither do I. Lucas should have stayed more connected to Lucasfilm. Maybe we wouldn't have gotten the train wreck that is TLJ.

I think Disney paid him so much to get him completely out of the picture (so to speak). I had read somewhere that he had given Kathleen Kennedy (who replaced him) notes and suggestions for going forward with the third trilogy. Neither she nor Disney was remotely interested.

I've heard what he wanted to do with it, and I wouldn't have been too interested either. What they did, though, was murder a good franchise. I sure hope they don't do that to Marvel!
