In SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE (1978), Kirk Alyn and Noel Neill have cameo appearances as Lois Lane’s father and mother. Alyn and Neill portrayed Superman and Lois Lane in the film serials SUPERMAN (1948) and ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN (1950). Neil continued her role in the 1950s ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN TV series, and also appeared as Lex Luthor’s elderly wife in the opening scene of the film SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006).
HULK (2003) was the disappointing Ang Lee directed Eric Bana/Jennifer Connelly film that has since been rebooted with Ed Norton/Mark Ruffalo (THE INCREDIBLE HULK & THE AVENGERS). Hulk creator Stan Lee and original Hulk Lou Ferrigino pop up as security guards saying hi to a young David Banner (Eric Bana).
Noel Neill, who portrayed Lois Lane in the television series and the film serials SUPERMAN (1948) and ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN (1950), appears as Lex Luthor’s elderly wife Gertrude Vanderworth in SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006).
In SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006), Jack Larson, who portrayed Jimmy Olsen in the 1950s television series ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN, makes a cameo appearance as a bartender along with Jimmy Olsen (Sam Huntington)
In THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008), the late Bill Bixby appears in a scene from his TV comedy-drama The Courtship of Eddie’s Father, which Bruce Banner is watching at the beginning of the film.
Original Hulk actor from the 1970′s TV series, Lou Ferrigno has a cameo in THE INCREDIBLE HULK (2008) as a security guard who is bribed by Banner with a pizza.
Ferrigno also supplied the voice of the Hulk. This marks the third time Ferrigno portrayed the Hulk, having also voiced the character in the 1996 animated series. Originally, the Hulk’s only line was “Betty” at the film’s ending, which would have been his first word. The director was aware that fans wanted him to speak normally, and added “leave me alone” and “Hulk smash!” The latter line received cheers during a screening he attended.
