SDCC 2024: Dogpool From Deadpool & Wolverine Gets His Own Marvel Comic

Marvel Comics is putting the spotlight on everyone’s favorite four-legged companion from Deadpool & Wolverine. There were so many surprise cameos and guest stars in Deadpool’s Marvel Cinematic Universe debut, that it can be hard to pick one standout performance. However, one of the Deadpool & Wolverine breakout stars that fans learned about before the film’s release was Dogpool. The canine variant of Wade Wilson got plenty of laughs from the audience, and now readers will get to follow more of Dogpool’s adventures in his own comic book that was announced at San Diego Comic-Con.

Dogpool Infinity Comic was announced at Marvel’s Next Big Thing Panel at SDCC Friday afternoon. The Infinity Comic is available now on Marvel Unlimited and is written by Mackenzie Cadenhead with art by Enid Balám. Dogpool Infinity Comic will team Dogpool up with Catpool and Mousepool on Old MacDeadpool’s Farm for some furry adventures. Dogpool is a member of the Deadpool Corps, which had a pretty hilarious introduction in Deadpool & Wolverine.

How Dogpool factors into Deadpool & Wolverine

“It’s love at first sight,” Ryan Reynolds told Empire when discussing Dogpool. “He loves Dogpool.” He then talked about how Dogpool, whose real name is Peggy, won the Ugliest Dog award in Britain. “Her real name is Peggy, and she won the award for Britain’s Ugliest Dog,” Reynolds said. “The reason why I was a huge proponent for her was because she feels like the animal manifestation of Wade Wilson.” 

Deadpool and Wolverine are the headliners of a movie titled Deadpool & Wolverine, but according to Ryan Reynolds, Dogpool’s role grew unexpectedly during the writing process. “It was, just like many things during the writing process, a tiny little afterthought, and it grew,” he explained. “It was one of those things where you just keep listening to the movie, and Dogpool became a staple.”

Reynolds then joked about how and where Dogpool might relieve itself. “Dogpool’s a Pool, so probably has some moral flexibility about where she wees and poops,” Reynolds said.
