James Gunn has revealed which Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 role was originally intended to be a Stan Lee cameo – and it's the character played by Gunn himself.
"I originally wrote Lambshank, the character that I played, for Stan Lee because I wrote the movie before Stan passed on," Gunn explains in the movie's director's commentary (via The Direct), referring to one of the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji)'s genetic experiments that the Guardians encounter on Counter-Earth in a bid to save Rocket (Bradley Cooper).
