The legendary comic book creator’s surprise appearances in Marvel superhero movies have sometimes been forgettable, but other times, hilarious
Marvel
Every time a new Marvel movie comes out, the one thing hardcore fans can count on is a special cameo from comic book legend Stan Lee. Some have been fun surprises, while others have been underwhelming. Here’s the definitive list of every Stan Lee appearance through „Ant-Man and the Wasp,“ ranked from boring to excelsior!
Fox
34.) „Deadpool 2“ (2018)
The bottom of this list consists of Lee’s „blink and you’ll miss it“ cameos. In „Deadpool 2,“ he doesn’t actually appear in the movie in person — he pops up as a huge wall mural that’s a bit tough to spot, and gone almost immediately.
Sony
33.) „Spider-Man 2“ (2004)
Another super-quick Lee cameo, but during the first fight between Spidey and Doc Ock, Lee sees enough screen time to pull a women out of harm’s way. Watch the clip here.
Sony
32.) „Spider-Man“ (2002) Same here. Lee gets a freeze-frame shot during one of the big fight scenes in the Sam Raimi original. This was before Stan Lee cameos became a major part of the Marvel moviegoing experience, explaining why so little thought was put into them. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
31.) Iron Man 3 (2013) You can catch Lee for a split second as a beauty pageant judge in this film. Compared to some of the other recent Lee cameos, this one is extremely forgettable. Watch the clip here.
Fox
30.) „X-Men: The Last Stand“ (2006) Lee appears in a flashback scene where Jean Grey demonstrates her powers. Another one of the more forgettable cameos, this one at least gives fans time to register who they’re looking at. Watch the clip here.
Fox
29.) „X-Men“ (2000) This was the first Marvel feature film to include Stan Lee, and as such was purely an easter egg for eagle-eyed fans. Lee can be seen for several seconds as a beach-side hot dog vendor, but he’s not the focus of the shot as he is in later films. Watch the clip here.
Fox
28.) „Daredevil“ (2003) Here’s where the cameos start getting good. Lee gets saved from walking into traffic by a young Matthew Murdock, marking the first time Lee is used as part of a gag in a Marvel film. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
27.) „Iron Man 2“ (2010) This is another fleeting clip, but it ranks higher for portraying Lee as Larry King, complete with glasses and suspenders. Watch the clip here.
Fox
26.) „Fantastic Four“ (2005) The first film in which Lee talks with one of his creations portrays him this time as a mailman who extends Reed Richards a friendly greeting. Beyond that, there’s nothing too special about this appearance, but it demonstrates the pivot toward increased focus on these cameos. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
25.) „Doctor Strange“ (2016) This quick cameo sees Lee reading Aldus Huxley’s „The Doors of Perception“ and otherwise remaining completely oblivious to the otherworldly goings-on just outside his bus window. Watch the clip here.
Fox
24.) „X-Men: Apocalypse“ (2016) Lee appears with his wife, Joan Lee, pop up in „Apocalypse“ as a couple watching as the world’s nuclear weapons are launched — although luckily, they’re being rendered useless in space. It was Joan’s final appearance on film before her death in 2017. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
23.) „Captain America: The First Avenger“ (2011) Some films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe use Lee as the punchline for a gag scene. Here, Lee cameos as a military official at a White House press event that Cap no-shows. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
22.) „Thor“ (2011) Here’s another gag scene in which Lee uses a truck to try to uproot Thor’s hammer, which can only be wielded by someone who’s „worthy,“ from the crater in which it’s stuck. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
21.) „Captain America: The Winter Soldier“ (2014) Lee plays a security guard at a museum where Cap’s suit is on display. Unfortunately for Stan’s job security, Steve Rogers needs it back. Watch the clip here.
Sony
20.) „Spider-Man: Homecoming“ (2017) Lee returns to New York to join in the neighborhood lecturing the Web-Slinger about a slightly botched attempt at heroism. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
19.) „Ant-Man“ (2015) During Luis‘ madcap story, Lee appears as a bartender. Hearing Michael Pena’s voice come out of Lee’s mouth is a great surprise gag. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
18.) „Iron Man“ (2008) By the time „Iron Man“ was released, Marvel knew its fans were on the lookout for the Stan cameo, so they put him in a smoking jacket, flanked him with some beautiful women and had him appear as Hugh Hefner. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
17.) „The Avengers“ (2012) This is a bit of a cheat. The actual Lee cameo used was another quick shot that would have ranked low on this list, but the deleted cameo is too funny to exclude. As Cap struggles to adjust to life in the 21st century, Lee shows up to call him out on his obliviousness. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
16.) „Avengers: Infinity War“ (2018)
Lee’s back in New York and completely unimpressed by Thanos and his minions in his „Infinity War“ cameo. There’s a fair chance he’s reprising his role from „Spider-Man: Homecoming“ in this one. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
15.) „Thor: The Dark World“ (2013) Poor Dr. Selvig. After getting his brain scrambled by the Mind Stone in „The Avengers,“ he’s left in a mental ward where he uses Stan Lee’s shoe to deliver a lecture about the convergence theory before an ambivalent audience. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
14.) „Guardians of the Galaxy“ (2014) It’s already surreal to see Rocket Raccoon in a blockbuster. It’s even weirder to hear him voiced by an A-List actor like Bradley Cooper. But nothing is as weird as seeing Rocket ask Stan Lee from afar, „Where’s your wife, you old codger?“ Watch the clip here.
Fox
13.) „Deadpool“ (2016) The raunchiest Marvel film deserves the raunchiest Stan Lee cameo. If you think it’s weird to see him guest star as a strip club DJ, remember that this is the guy who created „Stripperella.“ Watch the clip here .
Fox
12.) „Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer“ (2007) In a rare cameo as himself, Stan Lee tries and fails to get into a wedding guarded by a skeptical bouncer. Watch the clip here.
Sony
11.) „The Amazing Spider-Man 2“ (2014) During Gwen and Peter’s graduation, Lee spots Peter swapping his Spider-Man costume for a cap and gown. „I think I know that guy,“ he exclaims. Watch the clip here.
Marvel
10.) „Black Panther“ (2018) Lee is often seen as a blue collar guy just trying to make a living in his movie cameos, and in „Black Panther,“ he seizes an opportunity, disapproving glare of Everett Ross be damned.
