Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3: Comedian Pete Davidson makes surprise cameo

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 director James Gunn has recently revealed a secret cameo by comedian Pete Davidson in his latest tweet. Pete Davidson, known for his work on Saturday Night Live, has collaborated with James Gunn in the past and has now taken on two cameo roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film. 

In response to a fan’s question about his character and whether Pete Davidson also voiced a character, James Gunn took to twitter to share the details. He revealed, “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. And my friend Pete not only voiced but actually came to visit us in Atlanta for a day and played Phlektik on set”. Alongside his tweet, James Gunn shared several pictures from the set, one of which featured himself, Pete Davidson, and star Chris Pratt.
