The Vanisher, by Brad Pitt
If you blinked during Deadpool 2 in 2018, you probably missed it. Brad Pitt’s uncredited cameo as the invisible hero The Vanisher lasts for just a couple of seconds before he meets a shocking, and very visible, electrical end.
Asgardian Actor as Loki, by Matt Damon
No, he wasn’t the actual God of Mischief. Matt Damon made a hilarious surprise appearance in Thor: Ragnarok from 2017, playing an over-the-top Asgardian actor who was portraying Loki in a stage play within the film.
Mason Verger, by Gary Oldman
Gary Oldman was completely unrecognizable as the horribly disfigured Mason Verger in 2001’s Hannibal. He was so committed to the creepy illusion that he insisted on not receiving an on-screen credit for the demanding role.
Ari, by Helena Bonham Carter
Underneath all that incredible ape makeup in Tim Burton’s 2001 Planet of the Apes was none other than Helena Bonham Carter. She played the sympathetic chimpanzee Ari, a role that required hours in the makeup chair every single day.
Mind-Tricked Stormtrooper, by Daniel Craig
That was no ordinary Stormtrooper getting Jedi mind-tricked by Rey. James Bond himself, Daniel Craig, made an uncredited cameo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as trooper FN-1824, who promptly lets the hero go and leaves his blaster.
Aereon, by Judi Dench
Dame Judi Dench is sci-fi royalty, too. She played the ethereal and ghostly Aereon in the 2004 Vin Diesel movie The Chronicles of Riddick. As an Elemental, her character served as a chronicler of the universe’s history.
