No spoilers here, but yes, following the first film's lead, there are two crazy cameo appearances near the end of this film. The first involves a certain beloved A-list actor who lends his voice to a sequence set in a cinema, and the second is far more niche and surprising, as it features a celebrated figure from recent world history.

They're both baffling and hilarious in totally different ways, and while perhaps not quite one-upping the "gotcha!" reveal of John Cena in the first film, imbue the third act with even more demented hilarity.

If a third film does indeed happen, it's going to be quite the coup to score weirder and funnier cameos than this.
