When James Gunn originally wrote the screenplay for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3made sure to include a cameo for Stan Lee. The director has now revealed the character that was originally intended to be played by Lee before he died.
Lee was going to play the character of Lambshank, which is the role that James Gunn himself played in the film. Gunn shared this little bit of information in the film’s director’s commentary, saying:
“I originally wrote Lambshank, the character I played, for Stan Lee because I wrote the movie before Stan died. I knew he was getting really old and it would be harder to get him to Atlanta to shoot, so I made him a character that I could just animate and then have him do the voice and have a little Stan Lee-like face on that character.But unfortunately, Stan is dead, who I’ve really enjoyed working with and directing so many times through these movies.
Lambshank is one of the High Evolutionary’s genetic creature experiments that the Guardian team encounter while rescuing the Star Children. In the film, when Mantis opened the gate to Lambshank’s cage, she was briefly terrified by the way she looked, saying, “I was yelling at something scary behind you, not you. You look really cool…”
It would have been a very different cameo for Lee! It would certainly have been interesting to see.
