10 Weirdest Cameos In Superman Movies

5. Marc McClure - Justice League

Marc McClure played Jimmy Olsen in all four of the Christopher Reeve-starring Superman movies, and the means through which he eventually went on to cameo in Justice League are quite peculiar indeed.

McClure was originally drafted in to appear as a police officer caught up in Superman's post-resurrection freakout against the Justice League.

He's even visible in earlier trailers for the movie (pictured left), but when the original version of that scene was scrapped, McClure was called back to shoot a different cameo altogether.

McClure appears in the final cut of the movie as a prison guard visible when Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) visits his father Henry (Billy Crudup), and presumably got paid double for his "dual" role. Nice.
