9 Iconic Movie Characters Who Appeared Outside Their Franchises

Comedy marmite Seth MacFarlane packed a lot of cameos into A Million Ways To Die In The West, probably to make up for the lack of actual jokes. He got Ewan McGregor, a mute Ryan Reynolds, and even Christopher Lloyd appearing as Doc Brown in an all too brief cameo that was used to sell the movie.

While the Back To The Future reference steals most of the thunder, the movie did manage one genuine surprise crossover, with Jamie Foxx reprising Django Freeman. He appears during the end credits to shoot the operator of a horrid game called Runaway Slave, before repeating the “People die at the fair” gag that got stale after the first fifty-seven times.

It’s ultimately a dumb pop culture gag (this is a Seth MacFarlane movie after all), but if Django’s appearance is canon then it doesn’t bode well for his relationship with Broomhilda, since he immediately asks for a white woman to join him - which kind of undermines his mission from Tarantino’s opus.
