Back in January Stan Lee revealed that he wouldn’t be popping up in his customary cameo in August’s Guardians of the Galaxy, stating that, “This is the one group I didn’t create. I didn’t write Guardians of the Galaxy. I’m not even sure who they all are!” Well, it appears that plans have since changed, with the Marvel legend telling fans at C2E2 that he’s already shot his appearance: “I can’t tell you what it is, but I can tell you I do not understand what it was or why I did it. It has me with a girl — a very pretty girl — that’s all I can tell you.”
Guardians of the Galaxy opens August 1st, with James Gunn (Super) directing Chris Pratt (Parks and Recreation) as Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora, Dave Bautista (Riddick) as Drax the Destroyer, Bradley Cooper (American Hustle) as Rocket Raccoon, Vin Diesel (Fast & Furious 6) as Groot, Benicio Del Toro (Sin City) as The Collector, Lee Pace (The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) as Ronan the Accuser, Karen Gillan (Doctor Who) as Nebula, Djimon Hounsou (Blood Diamond) as Korath, John C. Reilly (Step Brothers) as Rhomman Dey, and Glenn Close (Damages) as Nova Prime Rael. Watch the trailer here.
