The Last Sharknado: It's About Time - 15 WTF Moments
12. Neil DeGrasse Tyson Is...Merlin?
Legendary American astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson is no stranger to appearing in movies: he's had cameos in the likes of Zoolander 2 and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in recent years, but now, he joins the Sharknado family.
After April and co. defeat the first Sharknado, they enter a "Timenado" and arrive in Arthurian times, where RuPaul's Drag Race's Alaska plays the iconic evil enchantress Morgan le Fay, who introduces the gang to Merlin, played by Tyson himself.
He informs Fin that he's trained Gil for the last decade, and reappears later in the sequenceatop April's pterodactyl, where he quips, "Who needs science when you have a dragon?". Never change, Neil.
