Kevin Bacon loved playing himself in TheGuardiansOfTheGalaxyHolidaySpecial 👀 'I take my work really, really seriously, but I don't take myself really, really seriously. So to be able to poke fun at yourself... it's just a blast.' 😂👏
Kevin Bacon enjoyed his cameo appearance in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. The second Special Presentation released by Marvel Studios, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was the first project to be pitched for the Disney+ side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In addition to featuring a large returning cast, The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special trailer featured some intriguing cameos, with Kevin Bacon serving as the most prominent. Bacon's appearance will pay off a franchise joke that dates back to 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy. Drax and Mantis remember Peter's reverence for the actor and seek to kidnap him in order to cheer up their friend.
"I've been researching this role for 64 years now. I've done quite a few things where I played myself, both in films, but also in commercial spots and stuff like that. And I take my work really, really seriously, but I don't take myself really, really seriously. So to be able to poke fun at yourself... it's just a blast.
A recent pop culture-centric cameo came with Megan Thee Stallion's appearance on She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, which also featured appearances from Abomination and Daredevil. The rapper's cameo was unique within the MCU since she was portraying herself as a character and showed up in multiple scenes. Prior to that, celebrities cameo-ing as themselves in the MCU, such as David Hasselhoff in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, appeared in more fleeting moments.
In addition, Bacon's appearance in the MCU will work on multiple levels, validating the franchise's continuity due to the many references to him over the course of the Guardians' appearances in the MCU. It could also potentially offer an opportunity for character development from Peter. Since cameos often function as jokes that the audience is in on, and Bacon is certainly leaning into that portrayal based on his comments, they don't always end up being integral to the plot.
