Every Stan Lee Cameo Ranked From Worst To Best

26. Deadpool (2016)

Lee's appearance in the first Deadpool was a genuine surprise considering that he didn't create the character and tends to shy away from appearing in R-rated comic book movies.

As was clearly the only choice for an R-rated Stan Lee cameo, though, he plays a strip club DJ who enthusiastically tells the crowd, "Give it up for chastity!"

The hilarity of an 80-something dude being the DJ in a strip club is what really makes this one work, not to mention the actual shock factor of Lee even being in the movie at all.

25. Black Panther (2018)

Lee's cameo in Black Panther earlier this year is one of the low-key funniest appearances he's ever made in the MCU.

During the South Korea-set casino sequence, T'Challa (Chadwick Boseman) walks away from his table after a big win, and as Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) notes his unclaimed winnings, Lee's vaguely creepy casino hound swoops in and takes them away "for safekeeping."

So, Lee stole money from Black freaking Panther. It's not like the King of Wakanda will miss the money, but even so, that's a pretty bold move.

Considering there obviously wasn't much room to slot a Lee cameo into the movie given its predominant Wakandan setting, this is neat, tidy and hilarious.
