Stan Lee Has Filmed His Avengers: Infinity War Cameo

With production still under way onAvengers: Infinity War, which is expected to continue filming until this fall, with bothAvengers: Infinity WarandAvengers 4shooting back to back, there have been a few set photos that have surfaced thus far. Most recently, photos taken from the Edinburgh set have given us our first look atVision, played byPaul Bettany, but today we have a photo that comes straight from one of the movie’s stars,Karen Gillan. The actress shared a new photo over the weekend which confirms that Marvel legendStan Leehas filmed his cameo for the movie.

Karen Gillantook to her Instagram account over the weekend, sharing a new photo of herself wearing part of her Nebula makeup, alongsideStan Lee. While she didn’t state specifically that he had shot his cameo forInfinity War.Kevin Feigerecently teased thatStan Leeactually shot four cameos at once, but he didn’t confirm what movies the cameos were for. It seemsStan Leewas needed on the set over the weekend, so it seems clear that his cameo has now been filmed.

While Marvel hasn’t released any specific plot details, the title alone alludes to the classic Infinity War comic book arc, where Thanos tries to amass all of the Infinity Stones for use in hisInfinity Gauntlet, which would give him the power he needs to rule the world. One of these Infinity Stones, the Mind Stone, currently resides in the middle of Vision’s forehead, which essentially brought him to life in 2015’sAvengers: Age of Ultron. It’s certainly possible that this scene is part of a larger sequence where Thanos sets his sights on Vision and his Mind Stone, but it’s clear from the video that Vision has a few tricks up his sleeve.

While we have still yet to get a full cast list from Marvel, there have been a number of interesting casting reports that have surfaced as of late. Motion capture guruTerry Notary, who played King Kong in the current blockbusterKong: Skull Island, revealed that he has landed a role inAvengers: Infinity War, playing, “Thanos' right hand man”, although he would not reveal the exact name of the character. There have also been reports thatBenicio del Torowill be returning as The Collector, while another report revealed thatPeter Dinklagehas been cast in an unspecified role. There have already been fan theories circulating that theGame of Thronesstar is playing either Pip the Troll or MODOK, although his character’s identity has not yet been confirmed.

A recent casting call revealed that MCU actors such asJosh Brolin(Thanos),Chris Hemsworth(Thor),Sebastian Stan(Bucky/Winter Soldier),Scarlett Johansson(Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow),Jeremy Renner(Clint Barton/Hawkeye),Chris Evans(Captain America/Steve Rogers),Elizabeth Olsen(Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch),Samuel L.
