Stan Lee To Make Cameo In "X-Men" Movie

San Diego, CA (CNS) - When actor Hugh Jackman ran into comic book king Stan Lee at Comic-Con, it was a happy introduction.

According to the Associated Press, after the introductions were made, the actor announced that Lee would make a cameo in the upcoming 20th Century Fox movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," due out next May.

"Don't tell anyone," Jackman joked about the accidental announcement. "It's always a big shock when people see him."

"I promise not to try and overshadow you," Lee said.

Jackman made an appearance at Comic-Con on Thursday to promote "Wolverine," and later said that he and Lee had met before, at the opening of the first "X-Men" movie in 2000.

"I don't know if he remembers," said Jackman, "Around here this guy is like a god. Around here, people see this guy, they faint. Their whole livelihood and everything they're interested in came out of his mind."
