Led by Brad Pitt, Bullet Train was one of the biggest movies of 2022. It was a self-referential take on the action genre that was jam-packed with unexpected and jaw-dropping star cameos of Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Michael Shannon, and more. And to the relief of fans, Ryan Reynolds was one of them. Reynolds is seen in a small but important role in the movie in the role of Carver. 

Reynolds played an assassin who has questionable morals and shoulders the responsibility of the collision that took the life of the White Death’s wife. When Carver walks away from the explosion and removes his helmet, it turns out to be Ryan Reynolds. Though his was an uncredited cameo but his list of other lead comedy movies is surely impressive. This was Reynolds’ payback to Brad Pitt for the latter’s appearance in Deadpool. Interestingly, Reynolds was on shoot for this special appearance on the sets of The Adam Project, which he was filming at the time.
