Brad Pitt was the last person we expected to see as part of the MCU. But his face was revealed at last as a mutant called The Vanisher. Though his appearance lasted merely a few seconds, it was worth the while.

The audience enjoyed watching him get electrocuted, considering Deadpool continued cracking his jokes. Though many viewers failed to notice it, Brad Pitt did shock the audience with this cameo.


2) Miley Cyrus voiced Mainframe in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

From Disney's Hannah Montana to voicing an MCU character, Miley Cyrus has come a long way. It is common knowledge among Marvel fans to stay back until after the credits when watching Marvel movies.

Mainframe was only shown as a head at the end of the movie saying in Miley's voice, "I miss you guys so much." However, fans were delighted to learn about her part and hope to see her in full-form someday.


3) Natalie Dormer as Private Lorraine in Captain America: The First Avenger

From a secretary to a Queen, she switched ranks rather swiftly. Popular for her role as Queen Margaery in Game of Thrones, Natalie Dormer appeared as Private Lorraine in Captain America: The First Avenger.

Only appearing for a brief moment, her character tried to lure innocent Cap by trying to steal a kiss from him. Fans were relieved to learn that Captain America is a man of honor, capable of denying even the likes of Natalie.


4) Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis in Thor: The Dark World

Kat Dennings can be found playing the role of Darcy Lewis in Thor: The Dark World. Accustomed to her witty self in 2 Broke Girls, Kat played a similar role in the film.

Darcy Lewis' job was mainly to provide assistance to Jane Foster and provide some entertaining reassurance. Fans look forward to seeing her in a refined role at the MCU. She's assuredly grown since the release of the movie.


5) Elon Musk in Iron Man 2

This iconic scene in Iron Man 2 is another genius cameo appearance in the MCU. Tech prodigy and entrepreneur Elon Musk shakes hands with Tony Stark as they discuss business. Another one of the cameos fans did not see coming.

Tony Stark and Elon Musk only shared a brief conversation in which Musk told Stark, "I've got an idea for an electric jet." The character is unquestionably fitting, considering his role in the tech and business worlds.


Though difficult to notice, these remarkable cameos added to the cinematic experience of the Marvel movies.

Marvel Studios recently dropped a trailer for Moon Knight. The online hype provides validation for the series to be a worthy watch.
