X-Men: Dark Phoenix Won't Have a Stan Lee Cameo


X-Men: Dark Phoenix has received a mixed reception thus far and the movie hasn't even come out yet. This is due to the lackluster trailers we've seen, plus some of the behind-the-scenes reports people have heard are making people doubt this film's quality. As if that wasn't enough to turn people away, fans will be sad to know that it won't have a Stan Lee cameo.

However, much like Captain Marvel, it will have a tribute to the legendary Marvel creator.

During an interview with CinemaBlend, director Simon Kinberg revealed that Stan was still alive while the movie was filming but they felt that there wouldn't be a place for a cameo. Kinberg then revealed that there would be a tribute for the legendary creator, which is pretty appropriate since he and Jack Kirby created some of the biggest X-Men characters like Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Magneto.

"We don't have a cameo. I'd rather say that than then keep it mysterious, out of respect for Stan. We do have some tribute to him, and it's something that obviously we weren't thinking about when we were making the movie because he was still very much alive. And he's been such a huge part of making these films over the years. He's had cameos; he's had input into the process of making them."

This will be the final X-Men film under Fox, especially now that Disney has bought the studio. X-Men: Dark Phoenix comes out this June.
