No Stan Lee cameo in X-Men: First Class

In what’s become a fun staple of every new Marvel film, the clever Where’s Waldo sighting of the Stan Lee cameo will be absent in Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, according to Stan “The Man” himself.

On his Twitter (yes, Stan Lee has a Twitter account): “Grim news have I for my brave Brigadiers. Gird thee thy loins the better to prove that thou canst suffer the bad along with the good.

It hath come to my attention that “X-Men 1st Class” shall soon be released. Thus, thou hath the good news. Now for the bad–

Incredible as it may seemeth, NO CAMEO doth appear of thy beloved Generalissimo in “X-Men 1st Class!” I pause whilst thy shock sinketh in.

Mayhap ‘tis but a sly ruse to lure fans into buying TWO admissions. “How?” asketh thee. Consider thou this—

Not seeing thy leader’s cameo, fans will feel they somehow blinked at the wrong time and buy another ticket to remedy that indiscretion.

So, if “X-Men 1st Class” breaketh all at6tendance records, we and we alone shall knoweth the reason why. Excelsior!”

Basically, without all of those fancy, hard to read words, the creator of X-Men won’t be in the film (he did appear towards the middle of Bryan Singer’s X-Men). Not a deal breaker, but it was fun to see where he would pop up at. I especially loved his cameo in Thor. Next time, we hope!

X-Men: First Class comes to theaters June 3rd.
