If you\u2019ve seen any of the posters or trailers for David Leitch\u2019s new action flick Bullet Train, you\u2019ll already know that it features a pretty star-studded cast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brad Pitt takes on the lead role as assassin \u2018Ladybug\u2019 in the Japan-set thriller, and he\u2019s joined by an impressive enemsble that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Joey King and Michael Shannon, each of whom has a crucial role to play in the rather complex plot.<\/p>\n

But they aren\u2019t the only famous faces to pop up during the runtime \u2013 there are also a couple of uncredited cameos throughout the film, including some of Hollywood\u2019s biggest names.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything else you need to know \u2013 but be warned that there are obviously a few spoilers ahead.<\/p>

Of the three major cameos in the film, one of them \u2013 Sandra Bullock \u2013 is far less surprising than the others, in that she was already included in the cast list.<\/p>\n

Bullock plays Ladybug\u2019s handler Maria Beetle, in what is largely an off-screen role. For the vast majority of the film we only hear her communicating with the assassin through his earpiece, but she does make a full appearance toward\u2019s the film\u2019s conclusion when she meets him following the rather chaotic conclusion to his mission.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this appearance was said to be Bullock returning a favour to Pitt after he turned up for a brief but crucial role in her blockbuster The Lost City earlier this year.<\/p>\n

And it turns out she wasn\u2019t the only star of that film to appear here \u2013 Channing Tatum has an uncredited role as an unsuspecting train passenger who gets mildly caught up in the carnage, and who seems rather bemused about the whole thing.<\/p>\n

His first appearance comes when Ladybug \u2013 attempting to disguise himself from a furious adversary played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson \u2013 asks if he would mind wearing his hat and sunglasses to serve as a decoy in order that the assassin can quietly escape undetected.<\/p>\n

Tatum duly obliges but only after asking Ladybug if this is part of a \u201csex thing.\u201d He repeats that line again when Taylor-Johnson\u2019s character Tangerine sidles up to him assuming that he is Ladybug, and after Lemon\u2019s annoyed retort he follows it up by saying \u2013 \u201cI do love an accent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final cameo \u2013 and the briefest of them all \u2013 comes when we are told that Ladybug is only carrying out this particular job because the assassin who was originally enlisted to complete it, a man named Carver, fell sick at the last minute.<\/p>\n

We get a brief glimpse of the real Carver, who it turns out is played by none other then Ryan Reynolds, but it\u2019s very much a blink and you\u2019ll miss it affair. Of course, it\u2019s not difficult to imagine how Leitch was able to get hold of Reynolds for the small role \u2013 the pair had previously worked together on Deadpool 2.<\/p>\n
