Lee is only on screen for a few seconds of “Iron Man 3” (his presence filtered through a TV screen, as it was in “The Avengers”), playing an elderly beauty-pageant judge who gives one contestant a perfect 10. The shorter the Stan Lee cameo, the more likely it hinges on him being a horny old man. Marvel at the imagination of visionary director Brett Ratner as the water from Lee’s hose begins to float up. Stan Lee is watering his garden when a nearby Jean Grey shows off her powers. Did Seth Green create the Avengers? No he did not. He’s not even the only celebrity to appear in the scene, as Seth Green shows up for a split second a few moments later. One of the worst movies in the MCU fittingly gets one of the worst Stan Lee cameos, as the graphic novel great shows up in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment as television personality Larry King (suspenders and all). In the most hyper-referential of all Marvel-related movies, this feels like a missed opportunity. More of a reference than a cameo, Stan Lee’s appearance in the recent “Deadpool” sequel is limited to some graffiti art of his face in the background when Domino touches down for her big action sequence (supposedly, he can also be seen in some pieces of artwork in the Professor X’s home).
