Pete Davidson has a cameo in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 that fans might have missed.
After fans noticed 29-year-old Davidson's name in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3's credits when it premiered in theaters, director James Gunn, 56, confirmed on Twitter Sunday that the comedian/actor made a cameo as an alien named Phlektik.
"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," Gunn wrote on Twitter in response 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," he added, sharing a selfie photo of himself, Davidson and Guardians star Chris Pratt, as well as a picture of Davidson in his full alien costume.
Davidson previously worked with Gunn on 2021's DC movie The Suicide Squad, in which he played a character named Blackguard.

"We're a very close cast. We've all been through a lot," he said at a special New York City screening of the movie 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."
