Stan Lee always make a cameo appearance in the Marvel films based on the characters he helped in re-creating. With this in mind, was there any particular reason why he missed X2: X-Men United, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: First Class?

I have noticed that he was in X-Men and X-Men: The Last Stand so why skip X2?

Good observation I must say! – KeyBrd Basher Mar 7 at 6:45
I have read (not from official sources, mind you) that he does not appear in X2 or First Class because of the locations. He couldn't get to Australia and Canada respectively in order to shoot scenes for them due to other commitments. Not sure about Wolverine though. – Nobby Mar 7 at 15:11
Further to this, it is suggested that he only appears in films for whom he created the characters, not just because they are Marvel. He didn't create Wolverine, and for that matter didn't create Ghost Rider, Elektra, Blade or The Punisher either. – Nobby Mar 7 at 15:14
@Nobby i know that he only appears in the marvel superhero films where the characters are created by him. And as i know he is in xmen co-creation but doesn't know about explicitly wolverine case. – Ankit Sharma Mar 7 at 16:05

He didn't create Captain America, but he has a cameo in that movie. – Clockwork-Muse Mar 8 at 18:46

For the case of X-Men: First Class

According to lee's Twitter page, due to the filming taking place to far away he won't have a cameo in it.(Source:marvelousnews.com)

For the case of X2: X-Men United

Scooper 'Kailem' tells us that Stan Lee was interviewed on the "Filmfreak" radio station when he mentioned he will not have a cameo in X2...

It seems that unlike the original movie, he isn't going to be turning up anywhere in X2. When asked if he had a cameo in the sequel he replied "No, no I don't, I don't think I'm gonna have cameos in the sequels 'cause I think that gets to be a little much. I'm hoping I can have a cameo in the first movie of each character." (Source:comicbookmovie.com)

And for X-Men Origins: Wolverine case ,Wolverine is one of the few characters not written by Lee.

So that's what i all got.
