Any self-respecting Guardians of the Galaxy fan knows that it's not a Guardians party without at least a few surprise cameos and pop culture references. And so, as is sequel tradition, the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 cameos are bigger and better than original. The newest installment into the Marvel Cinematic Universe might not have a lot of MCU crossover cameos (or any, really), but what the movie lacks in Avengers, it makes up for in many Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 cameos from celebirites.

After the smash success of GotG, it's not surprising that stars came running to the sequel for cameos. Some, like Baywatch's David Hasselhoff will be easy for fans to recognize (Hasselhoff is mentioned a few times in the film by name). Others, like Seth Green's voice work as Howard the Duck, are harder to pin down. If you see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and count anything less than nine celebrity cameos, then I'm sorry to say, you missed a few. To ensure that you don't miss any major celebrity cameos in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, here's a list of nine of celebrity cameos everyone will be talking about.
