Every Stan Lee Marvel Movie Cameo, Ranked
Stan "The Man" Lee is credited with creating some of the most iconic comic book characters alongside legendary artists like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. The Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Spider-Man, and more are just some of Lee's creations. Because of the astronomical impact Lee has had on the comics, he's gotten the chance to appear in a lot of Marvel comics movies. He's never had a major role, obviously, only cameos. Stan Lee has become a more contemporary version of Where's Waldo?
Popping up in movies and television shows isn't a new thing for Lee, as he's had plenty of appearances in everything from Muppet Babies to Mallrats. Over the years, however, he's appeared in 31 Marvel movies--with his 32nd appearance in Black Panther coming soon--and we've ranked every cameo from every movie based on a Marvel property.
