Of all the celebrity cameos you might expect to pop up in “Jackpot!”, Machine Gun Kelly probably wouldn’t have been one of them. He becomes a key piece of the movie though and, according to director Paul Feig and movie stars John Cena and Awkwafina, the rapper was “so game” for it.
The new film, now streaming on Prime Video, centers on Katie Kim (Awkwafina), an aspiring actress who just moved to LA. During an audition, she literally wins the lottery but doesn’t know that, in this LA — the movie takes place in a not-so-distant future — the lottery is a lot more violent.
