7 Community Alumni Who Went On To Work In Sci-Fi
5. Rick And Morty/MCU Cameos
After their work in Rick and Morty and the MCU, Dan Harmon and the Russo Brothers have brought in several cast members from Community to make guest appearances or cameos in their projects.
In Rick and Morty, Joel McHale guest stars as Hemorrhage, a Mad Max inspired villain, Gillian Jacobs appears as Supernova of the Vindicators, an Avengers-esq superhero team, and Jim Rash voices Glaxo, the Smiths' couples counselor. Though each appearance was only for an episode, it was nice to hear these voices back in Harmon's world.
Similarly, the Russos bring in a Community cameo for each of their MCU projects. In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Danny Pudi plays a SHIELD Agent. In Captain America: Civil War, Jim Rash pitches Tony Stark a stupid idea for a self cooking hot dog. Apparently, Rash's contract requires all of his characters to have stupid ideas.
Though the cast of Community sit out of Avengers: Infinity War entirely, the Russos make up for it with two cameos in Avengers: Endgame. Yvette Nicole Brown plays a SHIELD Agent from the 1970s, and Ken Jeong plays an security guard who lets Scott Lang out of his storage unit and effectively helped save the world. It's good to know that Chang's time as a security guard paid off.
