Edgar Wright's Baby Driver is a arriving in theaters on a wave of some great anticipatory buzz and critical reviews. But along with the already star-studded cast the film brings (Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm...) there is, apparently, a secret appearance from one of the biggest stars on the planet - and no one has spotted it, yet.

Months ago, Wright teased a potential Baby Driver appearance from Meryl Streep, and Cinemablend followed up with the director about it, after several members of the site's staff failed to spot the Oscar-winning icon during various screenings of the movie.

Wright took to Twitter to once again claim that Streep indeed appears in Baby Driver - albeit with the caveat that she "sort of" appears in the film. Intrepid viewers are already trying to interpret what that "sort of" appearance could mean, with one good guess being that Streep (likely in one of her many films) is featured in some background TV footage.

Indeed, one of Baby Driver's subplots is about Baby's (Ansel Elgort) foster dad Joseph (CJ Jones), who is deaf and confined to a wheelchair, yet spends his days happily watching TV. Baby spends several scenes sitting with Joseph and channel surfing - and Meryl Streep could easily be featured on one of the grainy channels in Joseph's old and outdated box set television.

Now that this Easter egg is officially out there, it will be up to fans heading into theaters to see Baby Driver to keep a sharp eye out and identify exactly where, when, and how Streep show up in the film.

Laugh as much as you want at 'Armageddon,' but seeing Bruce Willis say one last goodbye to his daughter and save the world brings tears to my eyes every time.

'Speed' never stops moving and has Dennis Hopper in perfect form.

Nic Cage as Castor Troy is really the only reason anyone needs to see 'Face/Off.' That, and doves. Lots and lots of doves.

John McClane taking on Hans Gruber's relative? Yes, please. 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is another great edition to the franchise.

'Independence Day' was a pillar in absurd, but addictively enjoyable '90s action films. Randy Quaid is my hero.

An engaging, fun plot? Kathryn Bigelow behind the camera? And Patrick Swayze as the one and only, Bodhi? 'Point Break' is '90s action movies in a bottle.

From start to finish, 'Con Air' is probably the most action-packed '90s film that features a beautifully maniacal John Malkovich and a hilariously campy Nic Cage as Cameron Poe.

One of the best sequels ever to be created. 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' is another testament to James Cameron's sequel skills.

'True Romance' may be unexpected, but its a great first screenwriting run from Quentin Tarantino and displays some awesome characters, specifically Gary Oldman as the creepy as hell Drexl Spivey.

'The Rock' is hands down the best action film of the '90s. Michael Bay made a popcorn flick masterpiece with this film. Green Flares!
