Stan Lee has recently shared that his cameo in the "Guardians of the Galaxy," was supposed to be a lot saucier than the one shown in the final cut of the film.
Speaking at the Salt Lake Comic Con this past weekend, the 91-year-old comic book writer and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics revealed that he was glad his cameo was edited or else his wife could have been angry with him, Comicbook reported.
"I'll tell you one thing. They edited the cameo that I did do," said Lee. "Because in the cameo...and I'm glad they did, because my wife would have been angry if they had kept it in...in the cameo, I'm standing with a beautiful girl, they had me talking to her, and I'm saying the equivalent of why don't you come up to my apartment and I'll show you my etchings. It was that type of thing."
He continued, "She's saying, 'Well, I don't think I ought to.' And I'm saying, 'Oh, that's ok, you'll be fine, come on up to my apartment.' It's kind of stupid. And they cut all of that out, and they just had me standing with her, which I kind of liked a little better than the dumb lines they were giving me."
"Now you know the inside story of how these cameos work out," he added.
But as previously revealed, director James Gunn initially had a different cameo idea for Lee, who always appears in films starring his Marvel comic book creations.
In the initial idea, Lee was inside one of the display cases at The Collector's museum and when Groot (Vin Diesel) stared at him in the face, he flipped him off with his middle finger, according to IGN. But due to the obscene nature of the gesture and Disney's reputation as being a kid-friendly brand, the studio cut the scene from the film.
Meanwhile, "Guardians of the Galaxy" got another week on top of the U.S. box office, grossing a little more than $10 million over the past weekend, Entertainmentwise reported. Overall, the film has already earned $294.5 million domestically since its Aug. 1 release, and $291.6 in international markets.
