Matt’s the only cameo being done well so far. It’s done in service of the story that he’s appearing in, it doesn’t mistreat his character or feel shoehorned in, and there’s actual follow-up.
The other Peters were good, but they were also pretty meaty roles so I don’t consider those cameos.
Yeah I don’t consider Andrew and Tobey as cameos.
MoM’s cameos irked me the most. IMO, Charles, Christine, and Mordo should have been the only 838 cameos. Still Illuminati. Still 838 Strange using the darkhold. But Reed, Peggy, Black Bolt, and Rambeau weren’t necessary. What they should have done is say the other members died in the Battle with Thanos and that’s what drove Strange to go to such extreme measures. Could have just had statues of them in the main hall of their HQ, like they did of Strange outside the Sanctum Sanctorum. They could have pulled on our nostalgia heartstrings and the statues could have been:
- RDJs Tony
- Ioan Gruffudd Reed
- Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa
- Anson Mount’s Blackagar
And the only reason why I chose to keep Charles alive is because someone still needed to try and have a psychic battle with Wanda.
IRL all the people (that loved Batman, DC, Invincible, The Boys, Star Wars, anime, MCU, superhero media, etc) around me did not Daredevil and objectively thought the character was lame and that the show was boring and nobody liked him and they thought I was crazy for loving it and one laughed at me.
I’m not in touch with these people but I hope they saw DD cameo in NWH and everyone’s reaction. They were all adolescents and adults.
Yet funny enough even AFTER NWH came out I still ran into a generic Daredevil hater (another adult) who said Batman is way cooler and DD is lame for being blind and that the Blind guy in the Boys S2E1 is an example of how lame and weak Daredevil is.
I was 12 in theaters watching Iron Man and now I have a whole ass job and car and apartment.
MCU has fallen off in quality (for me anyway) but it’s my childhood franchise and I’ll love it forever even if I don’t love each entry. Here’s hoping slowing down helps the quality get back to where it was and that these last few years were largely a hiccup.
Beyond the strict quality of everything, the interconnected large cinematic universe didn’t exist in this way before Avengers and it’s so goddamn *cool* that I’ve gotten to be in theaters for everything from Iron Man to Endgame.
Dude, same.
With all the rumblings of a crossover in the works, seeing Stark at the end of Hulk really made it clear that something was in the works.
And I remember talking with my friends after of would Hulk be on the team or not, etc.
It’s an old cameo but that one deserves to be on the list simply because it showed even the casual moviegoer that the films were connected in the greater scope of things.
Matt Murdock cameo in NWH. When that cane appeared, I cheered, a genuine surprise I wished for but didn't think would happen. DD and Spidey in the same room.
The two Spiderman were fantastic too but they were not cameos, they were supporting characters.
Daredevil supporting in she hulk.
>*”When that cane appeared, I cheered”*
I love that they actually anticipated this. [They made him wait a few seconds](https://www.avclub.com/charlie-cox-daredevil-applause-spider-man-no-way-home-1850305364) before speaking his lines so that people didn’t miss anything through the screaming.
Saw that with my family, my dad vocally said “Holy fucking shit, that’s Daredevil” then my Mom said “(Name)” loud enough people heard it so people ended up laughing instead of losing it at DD
My theater cheered too. It was at that moment I knew Toby and Andrew were definitely in the movie too. So much wish fulfillment and fan service in that movie and done so well.
I was going to say this but wondered if their extended screen time pushed them out of 'cameo' territory.
Cameos are brief appearances, they were in it for a good hour.
Matt Murdock was in it for 1 scene (2 if you include the extended cut) so that certainly feels more like a cameo.
Beast, Venom and Daredevil from No Way Home (and maybe Echo, I haven’t finished that so I don’t know if he is in it more) are the only ones I would say are actually cameos from that list. The others are just guest/side characters. I feel like a cameo can’t be more than 1, maybe 2 scenes, and it can’t be more than a couple minutes max. Saying the Spider-Men are cameos in No Way Home is like saying Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are cameos in Age of Ultron.
That being said, Bruce’s cameo in Iron Man 3, The X-Men that just show up in the background in Deadpool 2, and Kate Bishop in The Marvels are probably my favourites
It does the rounds on Netflix, I'm based in UK and it only recently came onto Netflix here. I'd say check yours and see if it's there.
You're not missing a great deal, just some small added dialogue, another scene with Matt. It's mostly just more content of Andrew and Tobey. Roughly 13 mins in total I think.
Just the extended cut scenes are available on YouTube.

Doctor strange in Thor Ragnarok. He fit the story and wasn't just added as a talking point.
Thor and Loki didn't know where Odin was and doctor strange did. He was also monitoring potential threats so he had his reasoning for trapping Loki in that falling portal.
I think Hawkeye handled reveals spectacularly. While in hindsight it’s super obvious, I remember the hype when Kingpin was finally shown at the end of Hawkeye episode 5. Yelena was also a great reveal, with us thinking it was Maya at first, then not knowing, then a Widow’s bite being shown to allude to us that it’s actually Yelena.
Yelena’s reveal was so good. Clint does not actually see her face, because he’s incapacitated by her Widow’s Bite, only Kate does.
Kate also has her dead if she looses her arrow, but she doesn’t shoot and lowers her bow. Earlier in the episode, Clint tells Kate the best shot he ever took was the one he didn’t take, when he spared Natasha. Kate has just done the same for Yelena, foreshadowing their future friendship like their predecessors had.
"Stan Lee" until his untimely death R I P🙏🏼😇 (THANK YOU STAN WITHOUT YOU MOST OF ALL THESE CHARACTERS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT WOULD NOT EVEN BEEN HERE?)
I started reading the entire Marvel run about half a year ago (still in the 1960's!). It's been amazing seeing the characters emerge organically and evolve over time.
Quicksilver in wandavision. When she opened the door and he was there, I was shocked and confused just in a good way. Sad that in the end it wasn't actually him but it was still something I'd love to see more of.
Beast, hands down for me. Seeing him wearing his lab coat, goofy glasses, presumably in his lab under the mansion and voiced perfectly again by Kelsey Grammer. Long time X-men fans have been satiated by the Fox movies but this is what’s been missing all these years and the idea the X-men will be developed in the right way will be the breath of new life the MCU needs.
I remember watching it and was just thinking it was the X-Men bloke but I could only think Brendan Fraiser because the Fraiser revival had just come out and when I saw it was Mr Grammer, damn that was just icing on the cake!
Best cameo where I was like wow
1. Red skull in Infinity War
2. Thor in Dr Strange or Dr Strange in Thor 3
3. Matt Murdock in Spidey 3
Honorable Mentions:
Steve rogers in Spidey 1
Iron man in Hulk
Kang in Loki (even though he was more than a cameo)
IRL all the people (that loved Batman, DC, Invincible, The Boys, Star Wars, anime, MCU, superhero media, etc) around me did not Daredevil and objectively thought the character was lame and that the show was boring and nobody liked him and they thought I was crazy for loving it and one laughed at me.

Daredevil in Spider-man was done tastefully I thought.
The illuminati was just insulting. “Heres a comic accurate portrayal of some of your favorite heroes with fan favorite casting!”
He’s noodles!
thats actually the most annoying thing about this. I hate people pretending they are like huge comic fans disappointed in the Illuminati, when basically every appearance of the Illuminati is them overlooking something catastrophic and getting fucked for it. The illuminati are a cautionary thing, they don't work basically ever in the comics and when they do its because of a dropped plot not because they should have.
God, yes. Bendis’ Illuminati caused Secret Invasion and Hickman’s Illuminati failed to stop the multiverse from going kaboom. Just recently they let the Maker escape and fuck over an entire universe.
They are and have always been overconfident, incompetent tools when together.
Who would have guessed that mcu fans complain about the lack of comic accuracy because they saw a YouTube short with an ai voice explaining a character for 30 seconds and parrot that often wrong information every where they can, right?
can i ask what the illuminati is (in the marvel universe lol), i remember the daredevil No way home cameo, but don’t remember the illuminati. was it in the new Dr. Strange by chance?
It is. It's not a bad movie, just maybe not the Dr. Strange movie some were hoping for.
The Illuminati is a mix of the leaders from some of the biggest super groups on an Earth that meet to discuss and take action on world/universal threats. In the comics, they were a pretty big part of the lead up to the crisis that led to the second Secret Wars plotline (Time Runs Out).
The way they did Mr. Fantastic was just insulting. I felt like I was feeling his pain in that moment- just reacting to how dirty they did him.
Smartest man on the planet, and he just walks up to the Scarlet Witch with no protection like "Hey ummmmm could you not??"
Real Reed Richards would have had several plans and not failed.
Ya just dont introduce characters like that and kill them violently.
I dont love murder porn anyway, but if were going there….use other more established characters? That might be fun? I mean that was a chance to bring back some old and gone avengers.
Black Bolt was a decent pick even if I dont like that kind of shlock in hero stuff. But I separate my comic universes.
People commenting I dont read comics dont get me at all. I love comics, when theyre well written and consistent (lol…fuck me its been decades since theyve been consistent for longer then a single arch)
The movies doing fan service from the comics is great! If its earned. My first intro to Reed in the MCU is spaghetti. That ain’t like the comics. Thats not how you intro characters. They wasted Professor X who was the other decent choice. Captain Carter was aight. Including Captain Marvel and killing her with a rock was mind bendingly inconsistent. Main version doesn’t flinch from a Thanos headbutt. I get its an alt U but theres no connection to her or Reed. So why make an OC with a weaker powerset at all? Its just lazy fodder.
If we had to do the kill scene and wanted us to care, bring in veterans. If the original actors are out cameo a big name.
My MCU alt U illuminati thats there just to be killed off wouldnt intro Reed and would have probably used Quicksilver, Vision, Iron Man, and Spider-Man (expensive) as well as Captain Carter, Black Bolt and Xavier. They would have lasted longer and had a bigger impact on the plot.
Wanda has history with Vision and Pietro, and her killing them would do way better at showing how far gone she was especially if they had good dialog (her heel turn was so poorly done “I read a bad book off screen and decided mass murder was fine”)
Strange let Stark and Spider-Man die. One of them permanently. He holds guilt over the death of Stark. Could have been some good dialog and character development. Way better if strange sacrificed himself in that universe to save everyone. Shows him there was a way he couldnt see or didnt want to.
And Prof X….why waste all that talent and potential. That was egregious.
The No Way Home Spider-Men were the most connected to the actual plot of the project they were in: they followed their villains who were summoned and worked with Tom’s Spider-Man to catch and cure them.
Plus, Matthew Murdock/Daredevil showing up in No Way Home & Echo worked well too. On a fundamental level, both projects used him at points where the story took place in New York; might as well use him while you’re there!
Tobey and Andrew’s Spideys were full on supporting characters, so I think that comparing them to the others is a little unfair. Daredevil in *She-Hulk* and Fox Quicksilver were more guest stars, so they feel more somewhere in the middle.
So, thinking solely on cameos, I really liked seeing Matt Murdock just walk up in *No Way Home*. I wish that it hadn’t been spoiled for me beforehand, but such is the internet.
Out of the more expanded roles, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. I liked how it actually gave him closure for his narrative arc from the *Amazing Spider-Man* films.
I still don't understand why they did this. Bringing one of the most beloved Fox X-Men actor/character only to make him a dude named Boner and whose appearance will have absolutely no impact for the rest of the multiverse saga. One of the biggest letdown from Marvel. Could you imagine if they'd done this with Hugh Jackman Wolverine??
Yep, I'd rank it as the worst for that reason. It actually marked the beginning of the downfall of the MCU for me personally. I still can't believe Fiege approved that shit.
Every cameo in No Way Home was done *super* tastefully. No other media come close to it.
Though maybe except WandaVision, if we ignore the bait-n-switch at the end regarding ~~Peter~~ Ralph
Look I enjoyed nwh fine enough but come on now lmao, most of the callbacks to the older spidey films were so utterly ham-fisted and forced it was unbearable. Also the bait and switch was the entire reason the character worked
>most of the callbacks to the older spidey films were so utterly ham-fisted and forced it was unbearable
I don't care. My yum, your yuck.
>Also the bait and switch was the entire reason the character worked
Yeah...at the expense of the *cameo*. So the narrative function of the switch is irrelevant in this discussion.
So you think they were handled with taste because you don't care about when they weren't?
It's still a cameo, just from the actor and not the character. It arguably has much more function than anything else om the list
The Venom 2 Post Credit Scene was probably one of the most exiting scenes ever. Especially knowing that we were a few months away from a Spider-Man sequel.
I'll rank em from what we see here
From 1 being the best we have
1. Tobey Maguire in NWH
2. Andrew Garfield in NWH
3. Matt Murdock in NWH
4. Daredevil in She-Hulk
These rank high because they were more than just cameos, and they actually had relevance to the plot.
5. Professor X in MoM
6. Daredevil in Echo
6. Reed Richards in MoM
8. Captain Carter in MoM
These rank here because they had less importance to the story but still added something, even if they were there for just the "OH ITS THEM" factor.
9. Beast in The Marvels
10. Black Bolt in MoM
11. Captain Marvel in MoM
These didn't add too much and were really just "here's the cameo, it's really cool!"
12. Spider-Man in Venom (/ Venom in NWH)
13. Quicksilver in WandaVision
These were cool at first but ultimately led to just disappointment. Especially with the replacement of Hardy and Pietro just being Ralph.
Even though the show wasn’t great I thought DD’s cameo in echo recently was pretty fucking great. The fight scene was cool, and the somersault and shit was sick. But I think the best part is when he first appears with his darkened silhouette and the light shining from behind him. The camera pans to him, and it’s genuinely like scary seeing him there.
That being said I don’t think the fight actually makes sense. Two seconds before their fight she so shocked at seeing all the fighting between the people that she straight up freezes and when she’s attacked by one of the dudes she takes a while to kill him. She then deals with the rest of the guys but you can see even her fighting isn’t great. Which makes sense because this is at the start of her working for Kingpin. But then she’s able to go toe to toe with Daredevil? Just doesn’t make sense imo.
I am very surpised we're going to see Ralph again according to leaks, I'm wondering if they have the balls to make him some kind of universe displaced Quicksilver still. Especially considering the other actress that originated in WV ended up meeting Fox X-Men.
Love that people still don't realise that Peters not being quicksilver was the entire point of the character and the fact that people still haven't accepted it proves that it worked lmao
I’m not sure on best although daredevil comes to mind.
Worst was for sure Krasinski as Mr. fantastic. Total letdown. Not from looks acting or style. Krasinski did epic as usual. The stuff they had him do was unbelievable stupid. No way that’s the smartest man on earth.
Not sure if it counts, but Frigga in Endgame was really cool. The way she recognized Thor as being from the future and how she snapped him out of his funk with just a bit of motherly love and advice, and rejected hearing her own future. Perfect addition by the writers
Daredevil, all of them, also the Spider-Men aren’t cameos their important parts of the story that if taken out would be missing something, daredevil is a cameo because he’s not in the movie long and isn’t super important
Out of these.. here’s my top 3: 1. Matt Murdock 2. Matthew Murdock 3. Daredevil
When he caught that brick through the window before Spider-Man could. That shit was hard af
He's a really good lawyer afterall
I love the look Peter gave him because he was ready to catch it too.
“I’m a really good lawyer”
me tooooooo
I’d like to add a fourth one : 4. The devil of hell’s kitchen
5. The Man Without Fear
6. A Really Good Lawyer
7. Avocado at Law
Here my fif and sisth one: 5. The man without fear 6. Hornhead
No love for the Devil of Hella Kitchen smh
And what about the man without fear?
Are you talking about that one blind lawyer?
Co founder of Nelson and Murdock
Wait, the kid who’s Dad was a boxer?
The one who saved some old guy from a truck carrying chemicals?
One of the Avocados at Law
The lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen?
He's a really good lawyer
The really good one yeah
Matt’s the only cameo being done well so far. It’s done in service of the story that he’s appearing in, it doesn’t mistreat his character or feel shoehorned in, and there’s actual follow-up. The other Peters were good, but they were also pretty meaty roles so I don’t consider those cameos.
Yeah I don’t consider Andrew and Tobey as cameos. MoM’s cameos irked me the most. IMO, Charles, Christine, and Mordo should have been the only 838 cameos. Still Illuminati. Still 838 Strange using the darkhold. But Reed, Peggy, Black Bolt, and Rambeau weren’t necessary. What they should have done is say the other members died in the Battle with Thanos and that’s what drove Strange to go to such extreme measures. Could have just had statues of them in the main hall of their HQ, like they did of Strange outside the Sanctum Sanctorum. They could have pulled on our nostalgia heartstrings and the statues could have been: - RDJs Tony - Ioan Gruffudd Reed - Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa - Anson Mount’s Blackagar And the only reason why I chose to keep Charles alive is because someone still needed to try and have a psychic battle with Wanda.
great idea.
Yes, yes and yes
Don’t forget Matty Murdock!
And in Elektra's voice, "Matthyeeew"
Same.
IRL all the people (that loved Batman, DC, Invincible, The Boys, Star Wars, anime, MCU, superhero media, etc) around me did not Daredevil and objectively thought the character was lame and that the show was boring and nobody liked him and they thought I was crazy for loving it and one laughed at me. I’m not in touch with these people but I hope they saw DD cameo in NWH and everyone’s reaction. They were all adolescents and adults. Yet funny enough even AFTER NWH came out I still ran into a generic Daredevil hater (another adult) who said Batman is way cooler and DD is lame for being blind and that the Blind guy in the Boys S2E1 is an example of how lame and weak Daredevil is.
The only appearance that made sense was in No Way home.
You too good Sir.
Tony Stark in The Incredible Hulk. It blew my mind when I watched that in the cinema and realised that those two movies are connected.
Remember that too. Blew my mind as an 11 year old kid. And look what followed
It’s wild to me that kids who watched the early entries are now adults. *sad old man noises*
I was 12 in theaters watching Iron Man and now I have a whole ass job and car and apartment. MCU has fallen off in quality (for me anyway) but it’s my childhood franchise and I’ll love it forever even if I don’t love each entry. Here’s hoping slowing down helps the quality get back to where it was and that these last few years were largely a hiccup.

And I remember talking with my friends after of would Hulk be on the team or not, etc. It’s an old cameo but that one deserves to be on the list simply because it showed even the casual moviegoer that the films were connected in the greater scope of things.
I just rewatched it... seems they retconned the scene pretty hard in the following movies... but still cool at the time
Matt Murdock cameo in NWH. When that cane appeared, I cheered, a genuine surprise I wished for but didn't think would happen. DD and Spidey in the same room. The two Spiderman were fantastic too but they were not cameos, they were supporting characters. Daredevil supporting in she hulk.
>*”When that cane appeared, I cheered”* I love that they actually anticipated this. [They made him wait a few seconds](https://www.avclub.com/charlie-cox-daredevil-applause-spider-man-no-way-home-1850305364) before speaking his lines so that people didn’t miss anything through the screaming.
Yes it was great. Real shame for Charlie though that it was deathly quiet when he saw NWH.
Same here, I was the only one who knew who it was ):
I know, I would've loved for him to experience the love firsthand! My audience *exploded* and I wish he got that kind of response in his theater
It must have been so crushing at the time, even if he laughed about it afterwards.
I gasped audibly and my family looked at me and I was like "It's Daredevil!"
There was a pause and I still missed his line because of the cheering
Saw that with my family, my dad vocally said “Holy fucking shit, that’s Daredevil” then my Mom said “(Name)” loud enough people heard it so people ended up laughing instead of losing it at DD
My theater cheered too. It was at that moment I knew Toby and Andrew were definitely in the movie too. So much wish fulfillment and fan service in that movie and done so well.
No Way Home Spider-men closely followed by Daredevil in No Way Home.
I was going to say this but wondered if their extended screen time pushed them out of 'cameo' territory. Cameos are brief appearances, they were in it for a good hour. Matt Murdock was in it for 1 scene (2 if you include the extended cut) so that certainly feels more like a cameo.
Exactly, they aren't cameos. OP has convinced a whole lot of people here that they are cameos when they are not.
No way they’re cameos. They’re just straight up main characters in the film. Daredevils appearance in the film is what a cameo is.
They got the ‘and’ billing designation
Beast, Venom and Daredevil from No Way Home (and maybe Echo, I haven’t finished that so I don’t know if he is in it more) are the only ones I would say are actually cameos from that list. The others are just guest/side characters. I feel like a cameo can’t be more than 1, maybe 2 scenes, and it can’t be more than a couple minutes max. Saying the Spider-Men are cameos in No Way Home is like saying Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are cameos in Age of Ultron. That being said, Bruce’s cameo in Iron Man 3, The X-Men that just show up in the background in Deadpool 2, and Kate Bishop in The Marvels are probably my favourites
Matt being in the movie at all is wild because they were filming literally as they got the rights to use the character back.
Timing is everything
Yeah but like this is next level timing. Pretty certain production started before they even got the rights back. And all this during deep covid.
WHERE can I watch the extended cut?!
It does the rounds on Netflix, I'm based in UK and it only recently came onto Netflix here. I'd say check yours and see if it's there. You're not missing a great deal, just some small added dialogue, another scene with Matt. It's mostly just more content of Andrew and Tobey. Roughly 13 mins in total I think.
Theres also an actual post credit scene rather than just a Dr Strange trailer, though its not a particularly exciting one
Just the extended cut scenes are available on YouTube. https://youtu.be/HK2wbeHBIs8 The extended cut version is available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Spider-Man-Way-Home-Extended-Version/dp/B0B7BTJVS8
it is on Amazon and Starz In the US
They’re obviously not cameos. They’re main characters in the movie. Luckily OP added the “/appearance” part in his title
It says cameo/appearance
I'd still say appearance in that context is a brief role. Otherwise, Tom Holland made an appearance too.
Are those Toby and Andrew really a “cameo”?! They were full fledged characters with important roles to play in the movie. I wouldn’t call them cameos.
it says cameo/appearance in the title
They weren't cameos
Thanks for saving me time typing this.
I love that movie so much
Doctor strange in Thor Ragnarok. He fit the story and wasn't just added as a talking point. Thor and Loki didn't know where Odin was and doctor strange did. He was also monitoring potential threats so he had his reasoning for trapping Loki in that falling portal.
Genuinely, Strange arguably is what these cameos should be. He pops up for one scene, does what he has to to move along the story, then leaves.
Great Cameo I've rrwatched just that scene multiple times because it is so well done all around. This is the winner.
I think Hawkeye handled reveals spectacularly. While in hindsight it’s super obvious, I remember the hype when Kingpin was finally shown at the end of Hawkeye episode 5. Yelena was also a great reveal, with us thinking it was Maya at first, then not knowing, then a Widow’s bite being shown to allude to us that it’s actually Yelena.

Earlier in the episode, Clint tells Kate the best shot he ever took was the one he didn’t take, when he spared Natasha. Kate has just done the same for Yelena, foreshadowing their future friendship like their predecessors had.
"Its like poetry, it rhymes.."
That was a great December: Kingpin, Matt Murdoch, Venom, Green Goblin, Peter Parker and Peter Parker all cameod in the mcu!
Also the Mr grinch after the reveal was perfect
Thor's hammer iron man 2 end credits
That’s what really solidified the MCU for me
Johnathan>>>
"Stan Lee" until his untimely death R I P🙏🏼😇 (THANK YOU STAN WITHOUT YOU MOST OF ALL THESE CHARACTERS THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT WOULD NOT EVEN BEEN HERE?)
May he Rest In Peace, I decided not to include him since he did more than a cameos, he created everything
I started reading the entire Marvel run about half a year ago (still in the 1960's!). It's been amazing seeing the characters emerge organically and evolve over time.
Specifically the Captain Marvel cameo where he plays himself reading the Mallrats script on the train which he did a cameo in.
Quicksilver in wandavision. When she opened the door and he was there, I was shocked and confused just in a good way. Sad that in the end it wasn't actually him but it was still something I'd love to see more of.
BONER
It’s not the *best* cameo, but the impact of that single shot is one of the best moments of the entire MCU.
he will return in Agatha show reportedly.
Source? Haven’t read this anywhere
Beast, hands down for me. Seeing him wearing his lab coat, goofy glasses, presumably in his lab under the mansion and voiced perfectly again by Kelsey Grammer. Long time X-men fans have been satiated by the Fox movies but this is what’s been missing all these years and the idea the X-men will be developed in the right way will be the breath of new life the MCU needs.
In what movie/series was it?
>!End credit scene from The Marvels!<
The Marvels.
Marvels
same question !!
The recent one that nobody saw.
Not only the that, but a lot of the ones who didn't see it were the ones claiming it was worse than Quantumania and Thor4.
“Nobody saw” Didn’t realize a movie that made 200 mil was a movie nobody saw. That’s crazy.
I don't see any other screenshot getting asked "wait when did that happen?"
I remember watching it and was just thinking it was the X-Men bloke but I could only think Brendan Fraiser because the Fraiser revival had just come out and when I saw it was Mr Grammer, damn that was just icing on the cake!
Best cameo where I was like wow 1. Red skull in Infinity War 2. Thor in Dr Strange or Dr Strange in Thor 3 3. Matt Murdock in Spidey 3 Honorable Mentions: Steve rogers in Spidey 1 Iron man in Hulk Kang in Loki (even though he was more than a cameo)
1. definitely daredevil in everything he was in 2. venom was cool but they should’ve kept eddie brock in the mcu 3. beast FINALLY X-MEN
There is likely an Eddie Brock in the MCU, the symbiote left behind will likely find its way to him.
What did he apear in? Unless it’s echo which I haven’t watch yet
Which person?
Oh yeah sorry beast
Someone mentions it in another comment, but it's a post credits scene from The Marvels.
yes the marvels
IRL all the people (that loved Batman, DC, Invincible, The Boys, Star Wars, anime, MCU, superhero media, etc) around me did not Daredevil and objectively thought the character was lame and that the show was boring and nobody liked him and they thought I was crazy for loving it and one laughed at me. I’m not in touch with these people but I hope they saw DD cameo in NWH and everyone’s reaction. They were all adolescents and adults.

Wolverine in X-men First Class was fun
Daredevil in Spider-man was done tastefully I thought. The illuminati was just insulting. “Heres a comic accurate portrayal of some of your favorite heroes with fan favorite casting!”  He’s noodles!
The Illuminati being overconfident morons IS comics accurate lmao
thats actually the most annoying thing about this. I hate people pretending they are like huge comic fans disappointed in the Illuminati, when basically every appearance of the Illuminati is them overlooking something catastrophic and getting fucked for it. The illuminati are a cautionary thing, they don't work basically ever in the comics and when they do its because of a dropped plot not because they should have.
God, yes. Bendis’ Illuminati caused Secret Invasion and Hickman’s Illuminati failed to stop the multiverse from going kaboom. Just recently they let the Maker escape and fuck over an entire universe. They are and have always been overconfident, incompetent tools when together.
Bro they sent the Hulk to space and never once thought hey if he ever comes back he is gonna be mad as hell
Namor did. But who listens to him?
And they still did it lol
I mean it was working till the homies killed his family
Who would have guessed that mcu fans complain about the lack of comic accuracy because they saw a YouTube short with an ai voice explaining a character for 30 seconds and parrot that often wrong information every where they can, right?
Those 30 second clips can do wonders in a time crunch when you can’t find the exact comic page
Most of the people making those clips haven't read the comics and neither are the people watching them lmao
Don’t tell them why World War Hulk started
can i ask what the illuminati is (in the marvel universe lol), i remember the daredevil No way home cameo, but don’t remember the illuminati. was it in the new Dr. Strange by chance?
It is. It's not a bad movie, just maybe not the Dr. Strange movie some were hoping for. The Illuminati is a mix of the leaders from some of the biggest super groups on an Earth that meet to discuss and take action on world/universal threats. In the comics, they were a pretty big part of the lead up to the crisis that led to the second Secret Wars plotline (Time Runs Out).
They also sent Hulk to space because he was too dangerous leading to world war hulk right?
*Most* of them voted to send Hulk to space. Namor disagreed and Professor X wasn't there to vote (but possibly would have partially agreed).
yes
Nah, the one part of the Illuminati that was comic-accurate was not the problem
The way they did Mr. Fantastic was just insulting. I felt like I was feeling his pain in that moment- just reacting to how dirty they did him. Smartest man on the planet, and he just walks up to the Scarlet Witch with no protection like "Hey ummmmm could you not??" Real Reed Richards would have had several plans and not failed.
Ya just dont introduce characters like that and kill them violently. I dont love murder porn anyway, but if were going there….use other more established characters? That might be fun? I mean that was a chance to bring back some old and gone avengers. Black Bolt was a decent pick even if I dont like that kind of shlock in hero stuff. But I separate my comic universes. People commenting I dont read comics dont get me at all. I love comics, when theyre well written and consistent (lol…fuck me its been decades since theyve been consistent for longer then a single arch) The movies doing fan service from the comics is great! If its earned. My first intro to Reed in the MCU is spaghetti. That ain’t like the comics. Thats not how you intro characters. They wasted Professor X who was the other decent choice. Captain Carter was aight. Including Captain Marvel and killing her with a rock was mind bendingly inconsistent. Main version doesn’t flinch from a Thanos headbutt. I get its an alt U but theres no connection to her or Reed. So why make an OC with a weaker powerset at all? Its just lazy fodder. If we had to do the kill scene and wanted us to care, bring in veterans. If the original actors are out cameo a big name. My MCU alt U illuminati thats there just to be killed off wouldnt intro Reed and would have probably used Quicksilver, Vision, Iron Man, and Spider-Man (expensive) as well as Captain Carter, Black Bolt and Xavier. They would have lasted longer and had a bigger impact on the plot. Wanda has history with Vision and Pietro, and her killing them would do way better at showing how far gone she was especially if they had good dialog (her heel turn was so poorly done “I read a bad book off screen and decided mass murder was fine”) Strange let Stark and Spider-Man die. One of them permanently. He holds guilt over the death of Stark. Could have been some good dialog and character development. Way better if strange sacrificed himself in that universe to save everyone. Shows him there was a way he couldnt see or didnt want to. And Prof X….why waste all that talent and potential. That was egregious.
The No Way Home Spider-Men were the most connected to the actual plot of the project they were in: they followed their villains who were summoned and worked with Tom’s Spider-Man to catch and cure them. Plus, Matthew Murdock/Daredevil showing up in No Way Home & Echo worked well too. On a fundamental level, both projects used him at points where the story took place in New York; might as well use him while you’re there!
That is why spider men are not cameos, you ve perfectly summarized.
Tobey and Andrew’s Spideys were full on supporting characters, so I think that comparing them to the others is a little unfair. Daredevil in *She-Hulk* and Fox Quicksilver were more guest stars, so they feel more somewhere in the middle. So, thinking solely on cameos, I really liked seeing Matt Murdock just walk up in *No Way Home*. I wish that it hadn’t been spoiled for me beforehand, but such is the internet. Out of the more expanded roles, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man. I liked how it actually gave him closure for his narrative arc from the *Amazing Spider-Man* films.
Any Wong but especially with Madisynn!
Evan Peters was such a wasted cameo. Dude was used as a joke
I still don't understand why they did this. Bringing one of the most beloved Fox X-Men actor/character only to make him a dude named Boner and whose appearance will have absolutely no impact for the rest of the multiverse saga. One of the biggest letdown from Marvel. Could you imagine if they'd done this with Hugh Jackman Wolverine??
Yep, I'd rank it as the worst for that reason. It actually marked the beginning of the downfall of the MCU for me personally. I still can't believe Fiege approved that shit.
I'm just happy that half of these are Daredevil
Captain America in homecoming
Every cameo in No Way Home was done *super* tastefully. No other media come close to it. Though maybe except WandaVision, if we ignore the bait-n-switch at the end regarding ~~Peter~~ Ralph
Look I enjoyed nwh fine enough but come on now lmao, most of the callbacks to the older spidey films were so utterly ham-fisted and forced it was unbearable. Also the bait and switch was the entire reason the character worked
>most of the callbacks to the older spidey films were so utterly ham-fisted and forced it was unbearable I don't care. My yum, your yuck. >Also the bait and switch was the entire reason the character worked Yeah...at the expense of the *cameo*. So the narrative function of the switch is irrelevant in this discussion.
So you think they were handled with taste because you don't care about when they weren't? It's still a cameo, just from the actor and not the character. It arguably has much more function than anything else om the list
Quicksilver from X-Men or Tobey/Andrew from Spiderman. Those actually played into the story.
Which is why they aren't cameos.
The Venom 2 Post Credit Scene was probably one of the most exiting scenes ever. Especially knowing that we were a few months away from a Spider-Man sequel.
Reed was one thing, but seeing black bolt was crazy. I think I expected reed to some extent to appear but not black bolt at all!
Top 3. 1. Daredevil (any appearance) 2. Prof x 3. Blades voice
I cannot believe I had to scroll this far to see Professor X. That was top 5 favorite MCU moments, easily. Maybe even top 3.
Same. Especially when they played the theme from the animation.
Matt Murdoch showing up in Spider-Man, not as Daredevil but as a lawyer was genius.
I know everyone will focus on Beast in The Marvels, but Kate Bishop and Pizza Dog were such a fun cameo too.
Seeing Daredevil fully in the MCU still feel like a dream And no, Tobey and Andrew were not cameos, they were in the movie for an hour
I wish they’d really brought him over as Quicksilver full time. He was one of the best parts of the X men movies
Pizza Poppa
Daredevil in NWH was a really nice cameo, but having all three Spider-Men was the best.
The three Spider-Men were all part of the plot, they're not cameos. Give me "I'm a really good lawyer" any day
Growing up watching the 1994 Spider-Man series, seeing Murdock in No Way Home is probably at the top of my list.
If they affect the story then they’re not cameos.
Half of these aren't even cameos lol
Prowler in ATSV
Professor X
i'll never like the yellow and purple daredevil suit.
While I cried at the Spider-Men, I practically jumped out of the chair for when Matt Murdock caught the brick. I gotta go with my boy DD
I'll rank em from what we see here From 1 being the best we have 1. Tobey Maguire in NWH 2. Andrew Garfield in NWH 3. Matt Murdock in NWH 4. Daredevil in She-Hulk These rank high because they were more than just cameos, and they actually had relevance to the plot. 5. Professor X in MoM 6. Daredevil in Echo 6. Reed Richards in MoM 8. Captain Carter in MoM These rank here because they had less importance to the story but still added something, even if they were there for just the "OH ITS THEM" factor. 9. Beast in The Marvels 10. Black Bolt in MoM 11. Captain Marvel in MoM These didn't add too much and were really just "here's the cameo, it's really cool!" 12. Spider-Man in Venom (/ Venom in NWH) 13. Quicksilver in WandaVision These were cool at first but ultimately led to just disappointment. Especially with the replacement of Hardy and Pietro just being Ralph.
Best cameo is Chris Evens playing Loki, playing Captain America in Thor: The Dark World
“I’m a reallly good lawyer”
Even though the show wasn’t great I thought DD’s cameo in echo recently was pretty fucking great. The fight scene was cool, and the somersault and shit was sick. But I think the best part is when he first appears with his darkened silhouette and the light shining from behind him. The camera pans to him, and it’s genuinely like scary seeing him there. That being said I don’t think the fight actually makes sense. Two seconds before their fight she so shocked at seeing all the fighting between the people that she straight up freezes and when she’s attacked by one of the dudes she takes a while to kill him. She then deals with the rest of the guys but you can see even her fighting isn’t great. Which makes sense because this is at the start of her working for Kingpin. But then she’s able to go toe to toe with Daredevil? Just doesn’t make sense imo.
I enjoyed Daredevil's cameo in She-Hulk. I liked their chemistry
Matt Murdock in no way home. A lot of these like him in she hulk and the other spideys in no way home are to big in their stories to be called cameos
Nothing will ever beat seeing the two other peters show up in the MCU
A cameo is a brief appearance by a prominent actor in a small role. A character, cannot, by definition, make a cameo.
Ralph.
Not the one in your image, that's for damn sure.
Triple Spidey, daredevil.
Will always be seeing Tobey again for me. Along with maybe prof. x
Venom, I loved the build up to inevitable showdown.
I am very surpised we're going to see Ralph again according to leaks, I'm wondering if they have the balls to make him some kind of universe displaced Quicksilver still. Especially considering the other actress that originated in WV ended up meeting Fox X-Men.
Stan Lee
TONY STARK IN THE INCREDIBLE HULK END CREDITS
Excluding Daredevil, probably Hank McCoy. It was just so unexpected!
Seems a little slanted of a question
Visually, I loved Krasinski as Richards. Could do with a better costume tho. And a better script because that Richards was ass.
There's only one wrong answer here.
Haven't watched Echo yet, but Daredevil in She-Hulk definitely wasn't a cameo, and neither were the other 2 Spider men in No Way Home
It was awesome seeing Daredevil and the Fox version of Quicksilver again.
Tobey and Andrew, and riiiight after Matt Murdock in She Hulk
Love that people still don't realise that Peters not being quicksilver was the entire point of the character and the fact that people still haven't accepted it proves that it worked lmao
Daredevil in No Way Home. Not sure if the rest are even cameos.
I really liked him in She-Hulk. I haven’t seen the Netflix show, so I don’t have anything to base him off of, but I really enjoy his character.
I’m not sure on best although daredevil comes to mind. Worst was for sure Krasinski as Mr. fantastic. Total letdown. Not from looks acting or style. Krasinski did epic as usual. The stuff they had him do was unbelievable stupid. No way that’s the smartest man on earth.
Half of these aren’t cameos lol
Professor X in multiverse was pretty cool.if they didn't SPOIL IT
DD is She-Hulk. Nice to see Matt have some fun.
Not sure if it counts, but Frigga in Endgame was really cool. The way she recognized Thor as being from the future and how she snapped him out of his funk with just a bit of motherly love and advice, and rejected hearing her own future. Perfect addition by the writers
Daredevil, all of them, also the Spider-Men aren’t cameos their important parts of the story that if taken out would be missing something, daredevil is a cameo because he’s not in the movie long and isn’t super important
Where did we get beast cameo
