In the Avengers' first get-together back in 2012, the movie was already packed with an incredible cast brought together from the four previous films. No-one expected a surprise and hilarious cameo from veteran actor, Harry Dean Stanton.

You may know Stanton from such iconic films as Alien, The Godfather: Part II and The Green Mile. Having such a big actor appear in a fleeting role just added more comedy to one of the MCU’s best movies.

Stanton appears as a security guard as Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner wakes up from his inaugural outing as the green rage machine. After Hulk falls through the roof where the security guard works, Stanton quizzes Banner before tossing him some clothes. The first question he asks Banner is: “Are you an alien?”. With a subtle homage to one of his most famous roles in Alien, Stanton delivered a brilliant, out-of-the-blue 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.
