“You wanna know what’s so crazy? Talk if you remember, bro. There’s a clip on Twitch of people saying, “Kai would be good at ‘Good Burger,’ bro. I swear. A girl called me and said, “Yeah, this is going to be weird, but you’re going to be in ‘Good Burger 2.’ In my life, bro. I literally said it on stream… (They) called me about that clip and put me in the movie.”
In the film, Cena eats at Good Burger before asking Kel Mitchell’s Ed if he can remove the ice from his drink since he originally ordered no ice.

Speaking with ComingSoon, Good Burger 2 director Phil Traill explained the significance of these cameos, noting that “they add to the film” although there is no a “great concentration:”
CS: “I know a lot of people were fans of the original or friends of the cast, but how was it trying to fit all these great names into the script and have them play small roles where they could pop out and not be a huge focus, but add something to the movie?”
Traill: “I think it’s just right. You said they’re not a big focus, but they add to the movie because they might just say one line to disgruntled customer #3 or something, and then we get Gronk (Robert James) Gronkowski), who just comes and wants to do it. But he knew he was playing in the ‘Good Burger’ universe, so he didn’t suddenly end up on The Gronk Show. He was just there.”
The path ended with the words: “Everyone just came to play along and be a part of this wonderful experience and not try to take it for themselves.”
A good burger 2 now streaming on Paramount+.
