Ryan Reynolds has been criticised after Deadpool & Wolverine fans discovered his daughter said an explicit line in the movie.
Fans were left in shock after Reynolds admitted that Inez, then seven, said an 'inappropriate' line in the film.
Discussing the scene while recording a commentary track alongside the film’s director Shawn Levy, Reynolds explained Inez had a small role as Kidpool, and said a rather unexpected line: "Hey, when I want your opinion I'll take Wolverine's d**k out of your mouth."

Watching the scene back, Reynolds admitted: "Guiltily, that is my daughter Inez."
"I'm so sorry we have to admit that," said Shawn, as Ryan continued: "And I am father of the year over here for allowing her to say such language, which to her credit she really didn't want to say.
"And then [she] came back later and said 'I want to say it now' when I started looking at other people to play."
Shawn said that there were up to hundreds of versions of the line, adding: "Yeah but Ryan, to our discredit, we made Nezzy do, I am not s*****g you, 70 to 500 versions of that line."
"Yeah, I'm going to pay for that later," said Ryan.
People were left disgusted over the admission, with a Reddit thread set up online to discuss Reynolds' comments.
One person wrote: "There’s no reason she needed to deliver that line herself. It’s a character with a mask and no visible mouth, it could easily have been dubbed over."
While another commented: "She’s the same age as my kid. I couldn’t imagine ANYTHING that would 1. get me to do this to my kid (or any kid) or 2. would be okay with my husband having done it."
And a third said: "The, '…which, to her credit, she really didn’t want to say…' is enough for me. I don’t care what the 'intent' was behind the line - it is overtly sexual and no kid has any business saying it, let alone in a movie made by their parent."
And a fourth added: "Wow. This is so disgusting to me that I will truly think of it every time I see him now."
"If it was just swearing, that’s one thing but an outright sexual reference? Thats gross and unnecessary. You could’ve gotten an adult to sound like a child to deliver this line," said a fifth.
UNILAD has reached out to Reynolds' rep for comment.
