20 Hugely Unexpected Roles In Upcoming Movies
13. Stan Lee (Yoga Hosers)
The Role: The above image, tweeted by writer-director Kevin Smith himself, makes it clear that Lee will be playing a police officer.
Why It's Unexpected: For starters, it's pretty shocking to see Lee having a cameo in a non-Marvel movie, and secondly, it's surprising that Smith didn't opt to have Lee play himself, considering that it would have been a fun callback to when Lee did it for Smith's 1995 comedy Mallrats. We can only hope that Smith also filmed a quick scene for Mallrats 2 with Lee.
Will It Work?: It's going to be blatant fan-service no doubt, but it'll likely hit the desired marker and hopefully won't be lingered on more than is necessary. Then again, this is Smith, who is known for his self-indulgence, so it could end up as pandering and even obnoxious.
