What is your favourite film cameo appearance by Stan Lee, creator of Iron Man and Spider-Man?
The Marvel Comics writer, who died recently at the age of 95, played some memorable roles alongside the characters he imagined into being
Iron Man, Spider-Man, and X-Men creator, American writer and former president of Marvel Comics Stan Lee, has died at the age of 95.
Lee also created The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Black Panther, the Silver Surfer and Doctor Strange.
He also appeared in most of the films released by Marvel Cinematic Universe.
To celebrate the life of the man who revolutionised comics, we take a look at some of his best cameos.
1. Fantastic Four (2005)
Lee’s cameo in the 2005 Fantastic Four alongside Ioan Gruffudd and Jessica Alba was the first time he played a character that he actually co-created.
William “Willie” Lumpkin is the Fantastic Four’s mailman, occasionally helping the group overcome evil.
2. Iron Man (2008)
When we spotted him in the original Iron Man, it is unclear if Lee is mistaken by Robert Downey, Jnr’s character Tony Stark as Hugh Hefner, or if he is actually playing the role of the famous Playboy founder.
The joke, sort of, makes a come back in his Captain America: Civil War (2016) cameo.
