Legend Stan Lee On 'Captain America' And 'Amazing
Spider-Man' Cameos; No 'X-Men: First Class', by Greg
Tingle - 19th May 2011
It's
hard not to love Marvel Comics and Marvel Entertainment
icon, the living legend himself, Stan Lee - unless
you're on the wrong end of a lawsuit from him.
From
Sydney's Bondi Beach to Hollywood, the world loves
Stan 'The Man'.
These
days to super fans and insiders he's as well known
for hims cameos in comics-based movies as he is for
his comics.
Media
Man spies understand he was given the miss for a cameo
in X-Men: First Class, but Lee recently let the cat
out of the bag that he got the green light for "Captain
America: The First Avenger" and "Amazing
Spider-Man."
Reading
between the lines "The Avengers" is looking
good for Lee and his fans too.
Lee
has been big on social media for a few years and his
Twitter tweets remain some of the most popular in
the universe.
"Warriors
mine, grieve thee not that I have no cameo in X-Men
1st Class," Lee tweeted. "Tis just that
the movie was filmed too far away for me to attend"
Lee
did confirm his already filmed roles in the two above
flicks however.
"But
know ye t his, I have already completed my roles in
Captain America and the new Spider-Man, so all is
well in Cameo Land."
And
while "X-Men: First Class" was a no-go,
he's determined to get his cameo for "The Avengers."
"Next
up--The Avengers," he wrote. "Unless they
shoot it on the Moon nothing shall keep thy leader
from making his awesome presence known! Excelsior!"
Since
odds are "The Avengers" won't be shot on
the moon, we are set to see the comics genius in that
flick
As
is said in comics heaven, Media Man and Marvel Universe
land, when we love Marvel' efforts, Excelsior!
