Pete Davidson makes surprise cameo in the newest ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
As Guardian of the Galaxy’s third movie debuts, fans are excited over the unexpected addition of Pete Davidson.
Director James Gunn confirmed on Twitter on Sunday that comedian/actor Pete Davidson makes a cameo as an alien named Phlektik in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′.
“I voiced the beautiful Lambshank. I don’t want to show her here because she’s too gorgeous & I don’t want folks to feel bad about themselves in comparison,” he replied on Twitter to a fan who asked about both his and Davidson’s cameos.
“And my friend Pete not only voiced but actually came to visit us in Atlanta for a day and played Phlektik on set,” Gunn added, sharing a photo of himself, Davidson, and ‘Guardians’ star Chris Pratt, and a picture of Davidson in his alien costume.
Gunn and Davidson have worked together before. Davidson had a small role in Gunn’s 2021 DC film ‘The Suicide Squad’, playing a squad member named Blackguard.
More actors added to the Marvel universe
Other actors who made appearances in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′ include Sylvester Stallone, who reprised his ‘Vol. 2′ role as Stakar Ogord, and Linda Cardellini, who voiced Rocket’s (Bradley Cooper) otter friend, Lylla.
Maria Bakalova also reprised her role as the talking dog Cosmo, who first appeared in last year’s ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’.
Though the movie series is officially over, Chris Pratt says that the cast will stay in touch.
“We’re a very close cast. We’ve all been through a lot,” he said at a special New York City movie screening last Wednesday. “James Gunn is one of my dearest friends, and that’s the type of relationship that I will continue to foster.”
“I know the text threads will keep going and stay strong,” Pratt added. “We’ll be checking in on each other, like marriages and families and all the life things that happen. We’ll be there for each other.”
‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′ is now out in theaters.
