Spoilers for Stan Lee’s Deadpool cameo follow…
Unless you’re one of the few people yet to see Deadpool, you’ll have no doubt caught Marvel legend Stan Lee’s latest cameo in the blockbuster X-Men spinoff, where he pops up as the DJ in a strip club.
Speaking to Entertainment Weekly at The Big Bang Theory’s 200th episode celebration, Lee has joked that he did have one complaint about the scene: “I wish I had spent more time in the strip club. They had me in and out too quickly.”

Although Lee is cutting back on his convention appearances, having revealed he’s set to make his final trip to Canada, he went on to reveal that he’s definitely open to more cameos in the various Marvel movies:
“If it’s a Marvel movie, I’m there for it. Whenever a new movie comes out, I hope they’ll have a spot for me. I get such a kick out of doing it. The fans seem to like it. I’m going to tell you a secret, here’s the reason the movies make so much money: My cameo. A man takes a girl to the movie, right? They’re watching the movie and they bend down to get some popcorn. In so doing, they miss my cameo. Now the movie ends, and they say, ‘My God, we missed Stan’s cameo!’ So what do they do? They run to the box office and buy two more tickets and see it again. That’s why the movies do so well, because of my cameos.”
Based upon Marvel Comics’ most unconventional anti-hero, DEADPOOL tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool. Armed with his new abilities and a dark, twisted sense of humor, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life.
