Stan Lee's DOCTOR STRANGE Cameo Revealed!
Some people might consider the reveal of Stan Lee's Marvel movie cameos a spoiler. If you're sensitive to this kind of information, I suggest you not read ahead. Thanks to a special 15-minute preview of the film, we now know what his cameo is in Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange.
It's always fun to see Lee pop up in these Marvel movies. It's a fun little treat to see him in the universe he created and the filmmakers always try to give him a little comedic flare. The following information involving Lee's scene in Doctor Strange comes from CB. Marvel recently showed off a 15 minute preview of the film to select press in the UK, and that is where his cameo was revealed:
"In what looks like one of the most epic foot chases in cinematic history, Doctor Strange and Mordo are running down streets, up building sides, and across the sky as the world warps around them. After Kaecilius bends the building on which Mordo and Strange are running, they fall to the ground and into the side of a bus. As they fall, the camera angle switches to a point of view from inside the bus, revealing Stan Lee reading Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception.
"As Strange and Mordo smash into the bus' window, Lee bursts out saying, 'Now, that's hilarious!' until the camera swaps again and the chase continues."
The site goes on to suggest that Lee's cameo may have been cut short for the preview screening and that it could be extended a few seconds longer in the theatrical cut of the film.
It will be fun to see exactly how this plays out on the big screen. His cameos are one of those things that you can't really appreciate until you actually see them. We'll all get that chance on November 4th!
