Which Marvel movies have NOT included Stan Lee cameos, and why?


I recently saw Fantastic Four 2015 and I noticed that it did not include a Stan Lee cameo.


As I thought about it, I think that the:



  • 1989 Captain America movie.

  • 1990s Fantastic Four B movie.

  • Howard The Duck.


  • the various Punisher movies.

  • the 1940s Captain America short films


might be examples of other Marvel movies that did not include Stan Lee cameos.


So what determines whether or not Stan Lee does a cameo? And what is the list of Marvel movies which did NOT include a Stan Lee cameo?


I know that Fantastic Four is produced by Fox and is not part of MCU, but I am imagining that there is more to the answer than just that.



Answer



According to Yahoo Movies, the list of Marvel films that don't contain a Stan Lee cameo is



  • "Blade" (New Line Cinema 1998)


  • "Blade II" (New Line Cinema 2002)

  • "X2" (20th Century Fox 2003)

  • "The Punisher" (Lions Gate Films 2004)

  • "Blade: Trinity" (New Line Cinema 2004)

  • "Elektra" (20th Century Fox 2005)

  • "Ghost Rider" (Columbia Pictures 2007)

  • "Punisher: War Zone" (Lionsgate 2008)

  • "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" (20th Century Fox2009)

  • "X-Men: First Class" (20th Century Fox 2011)

  • "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance" (Columbia Pictures 2012)


  • "The Wolverine" (20th Century Fox 2013)


Obviously this isn't complete because, as you've pointed out, it doesn't include



  • Howard the Duck (1986)

  • Captain America (1990)

  • Man-Thing (2005)

  • The Punisher (1989)

  • X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)



and a host of low-budget serial films from the 1940s and 50s



What seems to determine whether he gets a cameo is whether he cares about the characters, whether he's offered one by the Director and whether the studio overrides the Director.



“One of the losing battles regarded Stan Lee’s original cameo in the film. Originally, Gunn had planned to have Lee in one of the Collector’s exhibits. Groot would then look at the exhibit aghast, to which Lee would flick off the large tree creature.”
- Guardians of the Galaxy Director James Gunn

harry potter - Was Barty Crouch Jr. an Occlumens?

An Occlumens is a practitioner of Occlumency , while Occlumency means closing the mind. Despite being in the same school with two great Legilimens (Dumbledore and Snape), he was only discovered to be an impostor after the last round of the Triwizard Tournament in Goblet of Fire : “Moody,” Harry said. He was still in a state of complete disbelief. “How can it have been Moody?” “This is not Alastor Moody,” said Dumbledore quietly. “You have never known Alastor Moody. The real Moody would not have removed you from my sight after what happened tonight. The moment he took you, I knew — and I followed.” Does this mean that Barty Crouch Jr. is an Occlumens? Because if not, then Snape or Dumbledore would have found it out earlier, right? Answer It is not stated anywhere in the books that Legilimency was applied to fake Moody/Crouch jr. The conclusion Dumbledore made (quoted in the question) is based on pure logic, not Legilimency or any other magical means. So unless any other canon inform

game of thrones - Who were the Kingsguard escorting Cersei?

Now to the question... During the scene where Cersei sits on the Iron Throne and is "sworn in" we see her escorted by seven members of the Kingsguard. Now this is what I would expect as that is the correct number. However, I have no idea who they are ! [embedded content] The books pay more attention to detail in this area, but the show is also diverging and outpacing in this regard. We can see that a few of the names are not possible on the show. I have listed the names from the books and given why the reason they could not be members on the show in bold. Ser Jaime Lannister, Lord Commander - Stripped of title Ser Loras Tyrell - Dead and also was never a KG on the show. Ser Osmund Kettleblack - Possible, but not mentioned by name Ser Balon Swann - Possible, but not mentioned by name Ser Meryn Trant - Dead Ser Boros Blount - Possible, but not mentioned by name Ser Robert Strong (aka Zombie Mountain) - Confirmed I know it can be confusing mixing the books and shows, but the qu

character motivation - Why do Hastur & Cthulhu hate each other?

Everything's in the title. Hastur & Cthulhu are both Great Old Ones, yet the former lives on Aldebaran whereas the latter lives in R'lyeh. And both of them hate the other, taking it to the point where Hastur even helps humans who do not worship him if it could bother Cthulhu. My question is : What happened between Hastur & Cthulhu that made them "fight" ? In some stories, they are depicted as half-brothers or at least relatives. Is it written in any story involving one or both of them ? If so, is it possible to get the name of this story ? Answer No relationship between Cthulhu and Hastur was mentioned in any of Lovecraft's original stories (I think Lovecraft only once mentioned Hastur in a list of names of powerful entities in The Whisperer in Darkness, see the quote here ), this rivalry was created by August Derleth in his own "Cthulhu Mythos" stories written after Lovecraft's death. This entry at a Mythos wiki says: Although Cthulhu is

tolkiens legendarium - What real-world substance most closely corresponds to mithril?

While reading descriptions of mithril in The Lord of the Rings, it struck me that its properties might well correspond to a real material, possibly as an alloy with other metals. Is there such a real-world substance? Answer The problem with Mithril as chain mail is not ductility. Even if each link perfectly holds its shape, when a cave troll puts his bulk behind a spear, you have a spearhead-shaped piece of Mithril piercing your chest cavity nearly as deeply as the spearhead would have. Effectively, you have reduced the sharpness of the edge, but the pounds per square inch have not been reduced sufficiently to withstand the mass of a pissed-off cave troll and convert a potential puncture into a mere bruise. Frodo should at least have had broken ribs and crushed organs; squished like a bug. More likely, he'd have had a deep wound with Mithril chain mail stuffed into it. The problem is the weave. Nothing is both flexible enough to behave as seen in the movie when held up and exami
