Thor: Ragnarok
Thor : Ragnarokspoilers ahead .
-
Taika Waititi’sThor : Ragnarokis the seventeenth cinema in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , and not only is it one of the rummy entry in the series - it also contains one ofStan Lee ’s best cameo . The comic Christian Bible legend has been in all those MCU films ( and many more Marvel labor besides ) . First seem as Hugh Heffner in 2008’sIron Man , Lee has play everything from a Smithsonian security guard to FedEx saving human race , and has even crossed paths with the omniscient Watchers . So , among Goddesses of Death , vanish Valkyrie , and prizefighter Hulks , just what is Stan Lee up to this prison term ?
After cameoing as a New Mexico trucker inThorand an institutionalized affected role inThor : The Dark World , Lee is back to round off the trilogy with Hemsworth in towage , although this time , he has a little more to do . Ragnarok ’s merchandising teaseda liberated new flavour for the God of Thunder , with Chris Hemsworth sporting a much short hairdo . The haircut itself was only teased in the trailers , and it now transpire that was because it hid Stan .
As Thor drop dead for " processing " at the Grandmaster ’s orbit , he take a twisting in the Samuel Barber ’s chair under the eye of Lee ’s jittery stylist . devote a whirring sword attachment rather of custody , Lee appears as some sort of distorted Edward Scissorhands to provide Thor ’s clean - cutting appearance . In the scene , Thor begs to keep his signature hairdo , but Lee does n’t heed , only warn our Norse hero that he is n’t as steady as he used to be and his client / victum should keep still . That is unhappily the last we see of Lee , although later in the flick , Thor does recount that some " creepy-crawly old guy " chopped off his flowing follicles .
There are some with child cameos throughoutRagnarok : Waititi himself gets to make for a part asrock creature Korg , Matt Damon appear as an actor playing Thorand Scarlett Johansson pops up as Black Widow . But for sheer shock value , Lee ’s theatrical role top them all .
This is the third time we have seen Lee is quad , following on fromGuardians of the Galaxyand its 2017 sequel , and Stan seems progressively at rest home in the macrocosm . Indeed , Guardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2confirmed that all of Lee ’s MCU character are connected , so how does a rust Sweeney Todd recreate into it all ? Perhaps after failing to get a lift with the omniscient Watchers , Stan was knock through the Devil ’s Anus and terminate up as just another " junker " on Sakaar . Or perhaps he ’s on a military mission , there to gather info on Sakaar or Thor and cover back to the mystical slipstream of divine aliens ?
count that Lee’sGuardianscameo left superhero sports fan massively confused , and hisSpider - Man : Homecomingcameo was lacklustre , it is slap-up to see that he ’s back on grade withRagnarok . In some picture show , a schticky scene featuring such a noted face can feel out of space , but againstRagnarok ’s all - out comedic tone he feels right at rest home .
The future tense of Lee ’s cameo and the expanding Watcher theory remains to be seen , but having already film cameos for the likes ofAnt - Man and the Waspand the next twoAvengersmovies , he ’s definitely not going anywhere soon . Let ’s just trust Thor does n’t get a reunion with him !
