10 Movies You Wrongly Thought Were Innovators
7. X-Men Had A Stan Lee Cameo Years Before The MCU
Loveable Stan Lee seems to have a full time career making jokey cameos in various Marvel projects, and it’s always great to see him pop up. He’s a recurring figure in the MCU movies, and most viewers think this trope began with the original Iron Man.
It was actually the first X-Men movie back in 2000 that brought Stan The Man on for a cameo, which finds him present as a spectator on the beach when Senator Kelly emerges naked from the sea (long story). He went on to appear in Hulk and Daredevil too, before Iron Man officially made Stan Lee appearances mandatory in Marvel movies.
His best cameo is up for debate, though he seems to have had the most fun playing the strip club DJ in Deadpool.
