Pete Davidson makes a cameo in Fast X, which debuts Friday.

According to Screen Rant, the 29-year-old comedian portrayed a pirate named Boy in the highly anticipated film, which stars longtime franchise stars Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, among others.

The artist, who recently reunited with his ex-wife at the Met Gala, wasn’t the only person from the entertainment industry to make a cameo in the feature, as he was also joined by Disney Channel’s Debbie Ryan and drummer Josh Dun.

Davidson’s character initially comes into contact with Toretto’s crew when they try to enlist his hacking services, having previously worked alongside tech wizard Ramsey, played by Nathalie Emmanuel.

Although the hacker eventually double-crossed the team, he wasn’t killed, leaving the possibility of a possible return to the series.

It was previously announced that Davidson had been cast in Fast X in June last year.

Several sources spoke to The Sun that same month to express that several mainstays of the Fast & Furious series were cautious about the casting.

The comedian had previously made a joke about the death of former series star Paul Walker during the Comedy Central roast of Justin Bieber, which took place in 2015.

The late actor passed away in 2013 at the age of 40 after he was involved in a single-car collision that took place in Santa Clarita, California.

While roasting the pop star, the performer referenced one of his previous arrests, saying, “Last year Justin was arrested for drag racing… Unfortunately, he wasn’t with Paul Walker.”

Davidson then added, “What? He’s doing great! He’s got a movie coming out!”

The joke was later edited from a US broadcast of the event.

According to The Sun, a “behind-the-scenes kickback” was revealed by a source when the Saturday Night Live alum signed on to appear in the feature.

“The cast and crew are like family and very protective of each other — they just don’t think it’s true after his vile comments about Paul’s death,” they said.

The source added, “Some would prefer Pete not be in the movie at all but at least want him to publicly apologize.”

Fast X’s world premiere took place in Rome last Friday, and it has since received mixed response from critics, as it currently holds a 53% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
