Stan Lee on his favourite and least favourite Marvel cameos

March 21, 2016 by Gary Collinson

During an appearance at the Silicon Valley Comic Con this past weekend, comic book legend Stan Lee discussed his customary Marvel movie cameos, picking out last year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron as his personal favourite.

“I loved the one that I did, I think it was in The Avengers, when I want to have a drink that Thor is drinking,” states Lee. “It’ll be too strong for me, I think. And I drink it, and in the next scene they’re carrying me out.”

Meanwhile, Stan also joked about his least favourite, adding that: “It was the second one I ever did. It was a Spider-Man movie. Everybody is looking up going ‘ooh,’ and I’m one of the guys looking up going ‘ooh’ …for one-second. And I resented that because it didn’t give me a chance to show the full power of all my acting… I had a long talk with the director after that. He apologized, of course. I think in the next one [Spider-Man 2] I was looking at another accident and they gave me another second to go ‘ooh’ like that. Seriously, I don’t have any non-favorite cameos. It’s just such fun to be there.”

We’ll no doubt next see Stan Lee on the big screen when Captain America: Civil War hits cinemas in just over a month from now.
