Stan Lee confirms no cameo in X-Men: First Class.

Comic mastermind Stan Lee graced us with a cameo in X-MEN and X3, but will not appear in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, he confirmed via his Twitter:

Warriors mine, grieve thee not that I have no cameo in X-Men 1st Class. ‘Tis just that the movie was filmed too far away for me to attend

Bryan Singer, the brilliant director of X-Men 1st Class, is a good friend of your beloved Generalissimo and we all wish him well [Lee later corrected this to mention director Matthew Vaughn].

But know ye t his, I have already completed my roles in Captain America and the new Spider-Man, so all is well in Cameo Land.

Next up–The Avengers. Unless they shoot it on the Moon nothing shall keep thy leader from making his awesome presence known! Excelsior!

I hope my bonehead mistake won’t make them skip my cameo in the next X-Men just to teach me a lesson! Excelsior!”

Maybe next time, Stan!
