As we eagerly anticipate the official reveal of the movie’s major cameos, Ryan Reynolds has shared on social media a surprising behind-the-scenes look at a masked member of the Deadpool Corps, known as “Welshpool.”

Spoiler alert!

Viewers of FX’s Welcome To Wrexham were treated to a special Easter egg—a brief glimpse of a Deadpool Variant adorned in Wrexham AFC’s Welsh colors and dragon emblem during a pivotal scene. The character of Welshpool, as it turns out, is portrayed by none other than Wrexham AFC striker Paul Mullin.

In the movie, Welshpool and the rest of the Deadpool Corps face off against Deadpool (Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). Despite Welshpool’s initial defeat, the majority of the Variants regenerate. Before another showdown ensues, “Peterpool” (Rob Delaney) intervenes, persuading the Corps to step aside and allow Wade Wilson and Logan to pursue Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin) to the time-shredder.

The film has earned an R-rating from the MPAA for its “strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references.”

“Marvel Studios presents their biggest blunder to date – Deadpool & Wolverine,” the new synopsis humorously states. “A disheartened Wade Wilson lives a mundane civilian life, his days as the morally ambiguous mercenary Deadpool seemingly over. When an existential threat looms over his world, Wade must reluctantly suit up once more, dragging an even more reluctant Wolverine into the fray.”

Joining Reynolds and Jackman in the film are returning cast members Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), and Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio). Newcomers to the franchise include Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who play a TV agent and the sinister Cassandra Nova, respectively.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine, with a script penned by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.
