Bruce Campbell - Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness (2022)

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessbroughtdirector Sam Raimi back to comic book moviesand , unsurprisingly , he take along his most frequent star . Bruce Campbell has seem in many Raimi movies going back toThe Evil Dead , and fan have it off that intend he ’d be ill-treat into the MCU .

Sure enough , during Doctor Strange ’s journey throughout the multiverse , he amount face - to - brass with an aggressive street seller who calls himself Pizza Poppa . It is a silly and cheesy role that fits perfectly in the collaborations Raimi and Campbell have had in the yesteryear .

Lou Ferrigno - The Incredible Hulk (2008)

Before the rather striking recasting of the Bruce Banner function , another Hulk worker appeared inThe unbelievable Hulk . Lou Ferrigno , who played Hulk in the original tv set serial , appear as a steady security guard who Banner bribes with pizza .

The MCU was seek to found their own adaptation of Hulk in this movie , but it is nice to see them bear homage to a version of the character that stay on so beloved by many devotee .

Kate Mara - Iron Man 2 (2010)

It seems unlikely Kate Mara will be reprising her character in the MCU as Sue Storm from Fantastic Four . However , she has already been establish in the cinematic universe with a abbreviated appearance inIron Man 2as a US Marshal serving Tony a legal bill .

Mara was a fairly established thespian at this peak , so it seemed a bit strange for her to seem in such an insignificant role . It felt as though it was mean to construct into something larger but never did .

Garrett Morris - Ant-Man (2015)

Sometimes the good MCU cameo can be hilarious without even a single line of dialogue . This is the case inAnt - Man , as lover get a special Easter eggs cameo .

Some fans will have recognized Garrett Morris playing that taxicab driver .

Morris ' comprehension in this movie is in reference to a classic superhero skit onSNLin which he played Ant - Man , who was mock as being a less hero .

Elon Musk - Iron Man 2 (2010)

Iron Man 2came out on the heels of the incredible success of the firstIron Manmovie and , apparently , more citizenry wanted to make an appearance now that success was guaranteed . In Monaco , Tony Stark runs into real - liveliness billionaire Elon Musk , founder and CEO of SpaceX as well as the new Twitter proprietor .

Tony and Elon have a flying back and away about the actual engineering undertaking at Musk ’s company , including the engine used in SpaceX rockets .

Natalie Dormer - Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

Like Kate Mara before her , Natalie Dormer overlook into a Marvel movie right on before pip it big elsewhere in the amusement diligence . dormer window play a U.S. Army soldier who attempts to seduce a newly hefty Steve Rogers before they are interrupt by Hayley Atwell ’s Peggy Carter .

This all took place before Dormer exploded onto the screen as Margaery Tyrell inGame of Throneson HBO . While her powers of conquest did transfer to this new fantasy universe , Dormer was give much more agency as Tyrell , and much more screen time as well .

Megan Thee Stallion - She-Hulk (2022)

While it is gruelling to pickthe best cameo fromShe - Hulk , belike the one that nonplus the most attention on social media was from Megan Thee Stallion . The sequence deals with an Asgardian shapeshifter tricking a man into thinking he was date the real Megan Thee Stallion .

However , even with the funny storyline , fans were surprised when the singer actually appear in the sequence as herself , insisting there is only one honest Megan Thee Stallion . It was a expectant way to wrap up the story , and there was the added bonus of a post - credit view in which Megan teach She - Hulk how to twerk .

Nathan Fillion - Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)

After appearing in James Gunn ’s past moviesSuperandSlither , fans were wondering if Nathan Fillion would join his filmmaking booster as Gunn stepped into the MCU . Though Fillion does n’t look on - covert , his vocalization can be heard inGuardians of the Galaxy .

When the Guardians arrive at prison , a spicy alien vocalise by Fillion steps up to intimidate Quill , only to be fleetly taken down by Groot . It might not be a magnanimous role for Gunn ’s sure-enough Quaker , but it is nice to see their friendly relationship keep on into Gunn ’s bigger - budget motion-picture show .

Rob Zombie - Guardians Of The Galaxy (2014)

There seems to be a course of the MCU finding celebrities to sound the various AI technical school within this universe . In the grammatical case ofGuardians of the Galaxy , the representative of the Ravager navigation system comes from musician - turned - film producer Rob Zombie .

Zombie is evidently a good admirer of Gunn and made the cameo as a favor to him . While Zombie has his own successful motion-picture show - making career , fan of his music might have recognized his voice at the clip .

Trevor Noah - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Much like Tony Stark had JARVIS and then FRIDAY , Shuri has her own AI system to aid with her work , which is called Griot . Though the same voice appeared in the first film , withShuri ’s larger role inBlack Panther : Wakanda always , fans might have recognized who the voice belong to .

Griot is in fact sound byThe Daily Showhost and comic Trevor Noah . Given Noah ’s lack of acting roles and the lack of drollery in the purpose , he is a surprising choice who really works quite well .

Miley Cyrus - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Rob Zombie was not the only musician to get a little attending in James Gunn’sGuardians of the Galaxy 2 . Neither was he the only special celebrity to get to volunteer his articulation as a gift rather than his person . In one post - credit scene to the film , viewers see the Guardians 3000 team ( from the comic ) lead by Sylvester Stallone .

The scene features a number of fun cameos including Ving Rhames and Michelle Yeoh . But fan probably were n’t cognizant that the voice of the robot Guardians member Mainframe was provide by pop superstar Miley Cyrus . Though she does n’t appear on - screen , it would be interesting to see if she kill up elsewhere in the MCU .

Matt Damon - Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

When Thor get back to Asgard , thing seem a petty bit off . Odin is preoccupy . He ’s eating grapes and watching a theatrical depiction of late events star himself , along with sons Thor and Loki . It is a fun melodic theme to catch fans up on past events in the franchise while also throwing an unexpected cameo in .

Though it might take fan a minute to pull in , the Asgardian actor playing Loki is none other than Matt Damon . It is quite a blow to find an A - list actor in such a tiny role , but it sure enough is fun .

Melissa McCarthy - Thor: Love And Thunder (2022)

Matt Damon ’s surprise appearance inThor : Ragnarokwas such a smash that it is really no surprise he was brought back for the follow - up . Thor : Love and Thunderfinds the Asgardian actor set on another show of Thor ’s retiring exploit with another surprise appearance .

In re-introduce Thor ’s long - lose sister Hela , Melissa McCarthy takes the microscope stage to play the part , adding to the principal - studded mold . Fans have wanted to seeHela return to the MCU , but they likely did n’t look this to be the way it happen .

Kenneth Branagh - Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

For most devotee of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , Sir Kenneth Branagh is best know as the director of the firstThorfilm . That is not the only clock time Branagh participated in the MCU though , assist to fork out another key minute call for the Asgardians .

At the beginning ofAvengers : Infinity Wara distress call is heard publish from an Asgardian ship that Thanos has attacked .
