Davidson’s character appears towards the end of the film during a sequence set on the High Evolutionary’s (Chukwudi Iwuji) gigantic spaceship.
As the Guardians free hordes of abused animals from their cages aboard the soon-to-be-destroyed spaceship, Mantis (Pom Klementieff) frees a character referred to as Phlektik.
A vaguely humanoid lump of unsightly mutant matter, Phlektik thanks his savior as he exits the spaceship while Mantis tries to hide her disgust.
Phlektik is voiced by Davidson and rendered entirely in CGI.
The comedian’s cameo is perhaps less surprising given the film’s director – James Gunn – who previously gave Davidson a small but memorable role in his 2021 DC Comics adaptation The Suicide Squad.
