‘The Hangover‘ was so wildly popular, it only makes sense that Warner Bros. would cash in their chips for ‘The Hangover 2‘.

And since Mel Gibson is so wildly unpopular, maybe a hit movie will help to redeem him with the public? Maybe?

Probably not.

But the deal has been done anyway — Mel Gibson will have a cameo in the Hangover sequel, due out May 26, 2011.

Of Gibson’s cameo, Moviefone says:

“He’ll be playing a Bangkok tattoo artist who (presumably) the boys encounter at some point during another wacky, dirty, foul-mouthed adventure through Thailand. The paper notes that part of their Thailand trip will be shot on the Warners lot before production moves to Thailand later this month.”

Interesting.

Speaking of “wacky, dirty, foul-mouthed,” I wonder if we’ll get some of Gibson’s signature racial slurs?

Can’t wait to check out The Hangover 2, even though I don’t think it will do anything to pull Mel out of the deep hole he’s dug.

What do you think? Can this cameo salvage Mel Gibson’s career?
