Stan Lee has a cameo (naturally)...

Stan Lee is the Alfred Hitchcock of Marvel. He’s had brief cameos in many of the more recent Marvel movies.

To date, he’s been a hotdog stand vendor (X-Men), a child-saver (Spider-Man, Daredevil, Spider-Man 2), a pedestrian (Hulk), a mail delivery man (Fantastic Four), and a Hugh Hefner style letch (Iron Man).

Of course, Lee’s repertoire is set to continue with Thor. According to Lee’s Twitter feed, the comic scribbler is just as excited as anybody else: “Kenneth Branagh (of course I call him ‘Ken!’) said my cameo’s set for the upcoming Thor movie. To him, it’s a cameo, to me – it’s a role!”

But who does Stan Lee appear as in Thor? Spoilers ahead for those who don’t want to know...

According to various news sites, this is the scenario that features lee:

Thor’s hammer ( Mjolnir ) is found lying inside a crater in the middle of the road by the U.S. Army. The army tries to move it but can’t because it’s too heavy. They decide to bring in a truck for assistance. The soldiers tie Thor’s hammer to the back of the truck with chains.

The truck driver accelerates to pull Mjohnir. The back half of the truck falls apart as the front keeps moving. Finally, the camera cuts to the driver who happens to be comic legend Stan Lee.

The hero-maker also Tweeted “With [Branagh] director, Thor’s a sure winner”. Here’s hoping, Lee.

      MARVEL STUDIOS can do no wrong at the moment. Fox & Sony ought to take note on how to faithfully adapt MARVEL characters for the big screen.

      Kenneth Branagh is a perfect pick for this movie.

      The aesthetics in "Thor" sounds like it's going to look absolutely amazing. This is what I love about MARVEL STUDIOS. They respect and are true to the original source material. Their passion, their dedication and great work ethic in faithfully bringing their characters to the big screen without comprimise really sets them apart. Unlike Fox & Sony who have totally butchered the MARVEL characters they have undeservedly been privileged to work with .

      Whilst I'm a fan of Samuel L Jackson, I'm not a big fan of the "Ultimate" series at all. I would have prefered the original Nick Fury. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. :-)
