What Happens? Having missed out X2 (he had been scheduled to play Nightcrawler at one point. OK, that’s not true), Lee was back back back for the creepy prologue, when a computer-regressed Professor X and Magneto visit the home of young Jean Grey, only to witness a terrifying display of her awesome potential as she lifts all the cars in her neighbourhood in the air. As we cut outside, we see that’s not all, as an old grey-haired man with a moustache looks on, baffled, when the water from his hose pipe starts spraying skyward. Which, at his age, must have come as something of a relief.

Wink-Wink Rating Actually, not huge. It’s a quick shot, and nowhere near as inside baseball as some of Lee’s other cameos. Kudos to Ratner for holding himself back. Mind you, there’s always the possibility that he didn’t know who Lee was.
