Stan Lee
It just wouldn’t be an MCU movie without the required chucklesome cameo from the father of Marvel. Don’t worry, though, because the already cameo-stuffed Thor: Ragnarok still finds time to play the ongoing game of “Where’s Stan Lee?”
In this film, Lee has the honour of being the one to cut off Thor’s hair, despite the God of Thunder’s protests. Lee appears as the Grandmaster’s hairdresser on Sakaar in a pair of crazy space-glasses. Later on, Thor complains to Hulk that “a creepy old guy” chopped off his blonde locks.
This is the third time we’ve seen Stan in space, after 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy and its 2017 sequel. Speaking of Guardians Vol. 2, seeing as that movie confirmed Lee’s cameos are all the same character, it’s tempting to try and work out how this one fits in. The end of Vol. 2 saw him failing to hitch a ride back to Earth with the Watchers, so maybe he ended up falling through a wormhole to Sakaar at some point on his journey?
This was also the fourth and final cameo that Stan Lee filmed in one day, after his roles in Doctor Strange, Spider-Man: Homecoming and Vol. 2. Three of the four were directed by James Gunn.
