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

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
