And Shawn [Levy] said, ‘Where do you want to do that scene?’ And I said, ‘Let’s just put it to the end.’ And then the strike came, and I was like, ‘Oh, why did I say that?’” he said. He said that in the end, “it’s worth it.” Find out the truth behind some of the highly rumored cameos in the movie! Watch inside…
