Stan Lee’s Marvel-lous Cameos
Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer
Stan The Man is: Himself
What Happens? It’s the wedding of the century, the day when Reed Richards will finally marry Sue Storm. Everyone who’s anyone has been invited to New York’s Baxter Building for the ceremony. Everyone, that is, but for one old guy with grey hair and a moustache, who can’t get past security. “I’m Stan Lee,” says, erm, Stan Lee. “Nice try, buddy,” says Burly Man, kicking him out on his hearing aid.
Wink-Wink Rating This is terribly in-jokey because when the Richards got married in the comics, two figures clearly representing Stan Lee and fellow writer Jack Kirby were shown trying to crash the wedding – and now here’s Lee doing it onscreen (Kirby sadly died in 1994). What’s really going to bake your noodle is the question of why the Burly Man has heard of Lee, in a world where the Fantastic Four etc. are real.
