Light spoilers for Deadpool and Wolverine

Deadpool and Wolverine is out this week and it is absolutely jam packed with cameos, though no one will want it spoiled before they get a chance to see it.

Thankfully, we aren’t here to spoil the biggest characters who appear the film, but instead point to some of the people you may not even realise are in it – even if you’ve watched it.

The film sees Deadpool and Wolverine working together to try to save Deadpool’s world when the Time Variance Authority (TVA) and Charles Xavier’s twin sister Cassandra Nova threaten it.

This takes the two characters across two different realities, and sees them come up against a boatload of returning X-Men villains, as well as finding allies in returning Marvel characters.

These are all in your face, and fairly obvious.

The first hidden cameo, however, is Rob McElhenney, Reynolds’ co-owner of Wrexham AFC.

McElhenney’s cameo was announced prior to the release of the film in Welcome to Wrexham, the pair’s FX documentary series.

His role had been kept relatively under wraps, but having seen it we can confirm that McElhenney plays a TVA agent.


He kept a mask on the whole time so it isn’t clear which one specifically, but you’d imagine he played a role in the massacre of them in the first scene.

The rest that are hidden are all in the one scene.

Later in the film, for reasons I will not reveal for fear of major spoilers, Deadpool and Wolverine face off against the ‘Deadpool Corps’, a group of variant versions of Deadpool.

The most obvious of these cameo-wise is Lady Deadpool.

This is, in part, because her voice is very recognisable as a mainstream actor herself, and also that there have been rumours for weeks as to who would play her.

The credits confirmed the rumours, as Blake Lively was indeed the woman voicing the female Deadpool variant.

Two others variants are actually also both played by members of the Lively-Reynolds family as well.

Kidpool, a young-child version of the masked merc, is played by Inez Reynolds, their seven-year-old daughter, and Babypool, a baby variant, is adorably played by their one-year-old Olin Reynolds.

Amongst the Deadpool Corps is another cameo, and for fans of Welcome to Wrexham it probably didn’t come as a surprise.

‘Welsh Deadpool’ appears through a portal and he is of course played by none other than Wrexham AFC striker Paul Mullin.

In addition to this, there is an appearance from a Cowboy Deadpool, and when you think about a southern drawl accent from a Hollywood star, who do you think of?

You, of course, think Matthew McConaughey, and that’s exactly who plays Cowboy Deadpool.
