Back in 2008, Marvel released Iron Man to huge box office success which has quickly expanded into the biggest film franchise of all time. But in the first MCU instalment, audiences also got the first celebrity cameo in Tom Morello. Fans may know Morello as the lead guitarist of rock bands such as Rage Against The Machine, AudioSlave and most recently Prophets of Rage.

He played a member of the Ten Rings who is briefly lit up by Stark’s Ark Reactor before being hurled across the cave early in the film.

Now, celebrity cameos are frequent and expected in the MCU movies, with fans trawling the credits for names. However, back in 2008, a cameo like this was a surprise and an interesting Easter egg that paved the way for future cameos. Morrello also played the guitar for the Iron Man and Iron Man 2 soundtracks so the filmmakers were not wasting this cameo.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
