Blake Lively’s Lady Deadpool cameo had all the attention besides Deadpool & Wolverine but star Ryan Reynolds was quick to sneak in cameos of his entire family. The highly anticipated Deadpool sequel hit theatres on July 26 after having been the talk of the town for months.
Reynolds molded the superhero fest of a movie into a family affair with three of his four kids serving as fun Deadpool variants alongside star wife, Lively.
Ryan Reynolds’s children serve as Deadpool variants
Deadpool & Wolverine, in true Marvel fashion, was loaded with overwhelming cameos, from Chris Evans’ Human Torch to Jon Favreau’s Happy Hogan and Jennifer Garner’s Elektra and everything in between.
But what fans mightn’t have anticipated was Ryan Reynolds, 47, suiting up his kids, not for school, but to pull cameos as Deadpool variants. In the film’s end credits scene, the fact is made clear after the A-lister pops up with wife Lively, and three of their four kids.
While the world was busy debating on Lady Deadpool’s true identity, Reynolds prepared his daughters, James, 9, Inez, 7, and son Olin, 1 to star as the Screaming Mutant, Kidpool, and Babypool respectively, per SlashFilm. The report states Inez was the “dirtiest” of all Deadpools giving competition to his Merc with a Mouth father.
Their fourth child, Betty, 4, took on behind-the-scene duties while her siblings made their on-screen debuts. After the credits rolled out in the end, Betty Reynolds was mentioned alongside “Hugh Jackman Wrangler,” further highlighted by a viral TikTok video, seemingly hinting at the youngster’s nickname for the Hollywood star, per People.
On a similar note, Reynolds had recently joked about her daughter Betty’s unconditional “love” for Jackman, 55, which she expressed by attacking the Wolverine star with her imaginary claws.
Deadpool & Wolverine’s early success
Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine battled their way up to box office history, becoming the sixth-biggest weekend opening of all time. The Deadpool sequel that marks the return of the beloved X-Men hero, Wolverine, boasts of a grand opening of USD 211 million and USD 496 million worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.
The film also earned the recognition of the biggest R-rated domestic opening and continues to collect numbers globally.
The live-action Deadpool has, since the beginning, been Ryan Reynolds’ brainchild as Blake Lively recently recounted how the actor shared his ideas on the sets of 2011’s Green Lantern, in a sweet Instagram post. “He told me, our other costar, another superhero newby @taikawaititi and all of us about @deadpoolmovie for the first time,” the Gossip Girl star wrote in an elaborate caption.
While the star couple hit it off from there, so did Reynolds’ dreams for the Marvel comic character. Fast forward to the present, Deadpool’s fandom gave the otherwise spiraling MCU a breath of fresh air, etching its place in the superhero universe.
Other than the superhero duo’s inception in the MCU, the sequel also teases the potential inclusion of other 20th Century Fox characters like Elektra, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, Dafne Keen’s X-23 from Logan, and Henry Cavill’s Wolverine variant following his DC exit.
