10 Movie Villains Secretly Introduced Way Earlier Than You Realise

7. Satan Spotted Watching Rogen And Baruchel - This Is The End

Spider Man Far From Home
Sony Pictures

2013's This is the End is a bonkers chucklefest that had a host of famed actors playing versions of themselves as the literal apocalypse starts up during a party at James Franco's house.

Initially anchored by Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel playing, well, Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel, the film goes from standard stoner comedy to standard stoner comedy complete with demons and the end of the world.

As some of the cast find themselves turned to zombies or ascending to Heaven, it's Rogen and Baruchel who are confronted with Satan himself during the closing moments of This is the End. The thing is, this form of Satan is first spotted just four minutes into the movie.

With Jay staying at Rogen's abode, the pair settle down to smoke some weed and play some video games. And there, hiding in plain sight, is a toy figure of the one and the same Satan design propped atop a shelf that sits above Rogen's TV.

Is this merely an inanimate toy, or is this really the Lord of Darkness keeping a watchful eye on Messrs Rogen and Baruchel? Who knows.
