The first thing that comes to mind when hearing the phrase “Marvel Cinematic Universe” might be the epic battles, way too much comic relief, or cameos by Stan Lee. Of course, unless you were paying especially close attention, you might’ve missed the fact that Stan “The Man” is far from the only celeb to cameo in the MCU – and sometimes the stories behind the cameos are as interesting as the appearances themselves.

Marvel’s mightiest mallard Howard the Duck made three cameos in Marvel movies, but older geeks might remember that he starred in his own film in 1986. However, ’80s Howard had no influence on the character’s (re)creation for Guardians of the Galaxy, as director James Gunn admitted he found the original’s “Caucasian eyelids” creepy.
Voicing Howard is Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Family Guy’s Seth Green, who said the door was still open for a potential MCU return… Incidentally, Green had a blink-and-you-missed it cameo in Iron Man 2, possibly as himself.
