Ice Cube playfully dodges rumors of a surprise appearance in the hilarious remake of his cult classic thriller from 1997. During his recent interview on Australia's The Project, the rap legend turned actor kept fans guessing about his involvement in the new snake-centric comedy starring the dynamic duo of Paul Rudd and Jack Black.

Despite being seen in Queensland, sparking speculation of a cameo, Ice Cube shrugged off the rumors with his signature wit, stating he was just sightseeing before his Sydney gig and hadn't crossed paths with the new film's stars.

In the original "Anaconda," Ice Cube, alongside Jennifer Lopez and Jon Voight, grappled with a monstrous green serpent in the unforgiving Amazon. His recent social media post revealed his insistence on survival for his character, breaking stereotypes in Hollywood films.

Scheduled for a December debut, the reboot follows Rudd and Black as they journey into the jungle to recreate a beloved childhood movie, encountering both humongous snakes and dangerous foes. With an exciting lineup including Thandiwe Newton and Steve Zahn, the film wrapped up production, as confirmed by Brazilian star Selton Mello on Instagram.

As Ice Cube continues his tour in Australia, the question lingers: Did he sneak back into the wild world of "Anaconda" for a nostalgic nod? Only time will tell.
