The Lost City Brad Pitt’s epic cameo has been swapped out for Sandra Bullock for another 2022 action comedy. The lost city cast Pitt as mercenary Jack Trainor and although he only had a brief role, many critics considered him the highlight. The story involves Channing Tatum’s model Alan trying to rescue Sandra Bullock’s kidnapped author Loretta, with Alan enlisting the tough Trainor for help. For a while, the film becomes quintessentially Pitt’s, where he effortlessly rescues Loretta from a compound and the two share flirty banter – just before Trainor is shot in the head by the villain’s henchmen.
Pitt Totally Weaponizes His Movie Stardom The Lost City, being easily charming and funny. It’s a credit to the rest of the film that it’s still so entertaining after Trainor’s supposed death – although The Lost City end credits scene reveals Jack somehow survived the injury. 2022 has been a busy year for Pitt, which has included starring roles in both Babylon and bullet train. The latter cast him as a killer forced to fight for his life against a parade of assassins while speaking to his mysterious handler, Maria Beetle.

Pitt and Bullock Traded Favors for The Lost City & Bullet Train
The eagle-eared public may have noticed Maria is actually played by Sandra Bullock, who finally appears during bullet train end. Of course, it’s no coincidence that Pitt and Bullock made cameos in each other’s star vehicles. The actors were doing each other favors, with Pitt returning Bullock’s guest role in bullet train taking over the Coach’s part to The lost city. The favors didn’t stop there either, as Channing Tatum also makes a funny, uncredited appearance as one of the passengers on the titular train..
Ox bullet train the cameo is less physically intense than Pitt’s, where she spends much of her role off-screen. It’s almost a shame that the film didn’t keep Bullock’s appearance a complete surprise as well, with the trailers completely spoiling her cameo. She also can’t be as silly as Pitt’s Trainor, but Even though they don’t share many scenes, Bullock and Pitt still share great comedic chemistry during the film.
How The Lost City Shaped Sandra Bullock’s Bullet Train Role
Turns out Pitt and Bullock’s hairdresser played a huge role in bringing the stars together
Although both stars appeared on Ocean franchise, they had not worked together before 2022. Their eventual partnership came from an unexpected source, such as Bullock revealed (via The Project / The Independent) that it was her and Pitt’s shared hairdresser, Janine Thompson, who connected them.
Janine Thompson, who has done my hair for ages in films, does his hair. And he asked her to call me and ask him for a favor. I called her and said, ‘Since I said yes, can you get in his ear and ask him to do our movie?’ And he said yes!
It was Pitt who first thought of Bullock and, sensing an opportunity, Bullock agreed to bullet train on condition of its appearance in The lost city. It’s fair to say this worked, as both cameos were crucial. Bullock’s aversion to sequels – after the double disasters of Speed ​​2: Cruise Control and Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous – make your reunion in The Lost City 2 highly unlikely, although Bullock and Pitt really should find an original project that unites them throughout the story.
